Apalachicola National Forest

Secluded lakes and streams and canoe trails on the Sopchoppy and lower Ochlockonee rivers are popular with canoeists. Several lake areas have campgrounds and hiking trails. Hunting and fishing also are popular activities.

A portion of the 1,300-mile Florida National Scenic Trail passes through the forest, showcasing a wide variety of plants and wildlife native to the area. Hikers may catch glimpses of alligators and such rare and endangered species as the red-cockaded woodpecker, indigo snake and bald eagle.

Further information about the forest can be obtained at the district headquarters offices in Crawfordville, (850) 926-3561, and in Bristol, (850) 643-2282.
