Apalachicola National Forest
The largest national forest in Florida stretches southwest from Tallahassee where more than a half-million acres of rivers, sinkholes, wetlands and savannas wait to be explored. Hikers can spend days wandering the 67 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail that traverses the Apalachicola National Forest. In addition to hiking and camping, the forest offers opportunities for boaters, cyclists, anglers and kayakers. There are even areas for horseback riding and 56 miles of all-terrain vehicle trails in these woodlands. Back-country camping is permitted throughout the forest, in addition to a number of developed campgrounds along the creeks and rivers suitable for RV and tent use. The developed campgrounds range from no hookups to water and electric hookups with hot showers and restrooms.
