Apalachicola National Forest

Summary

This popular area has over 100 miles of motorized trails with several small scattered play areas. The trails are mostly smooth and sandy but flat. There are several staging areas to access the trail system but Silver Lake and Springhill are the preferred spots for large trailers since the parking lots are paved with plenty of turnaround room. The North Oak Staging Area is smaller but consists of loose sand (please note that the only trailhead with ATV access is Silver Lake). The road that leads to Vinzant Staging Area is normally passable even during wet weather but the trail is prone to flooding. A trail pass is required to ride and can be purchased at any of the staging areas (currently only three day or annual passes are available).
