Hiking the Eglin Section of the Florida Trail

The northern panhandle of Florida is host to the western gate of the Florida Trail, one of eight National Scenic Trails, with the Appalachian Trail being the most famous. The Florida Trail stretches a distance of about 1300 miles and is maintained by volunteers of the Florida Trail Association. For 44 miles, the Florida Trail traverses the Eglin Air Force Base Reservation.

In order to hike the Florida Trail through the Eglin Reservation, all hikers and campers, except for thru-hikers, must purchase a low cost recreational pass and camping permit that can be obtained through Eglin's Natural Resources Branch, known locally as the Jackson Guard, located at 107 Hwy. 85 North, Niceville, FL 32578. Thru-hikers that have a letter from the Florida Trail Association in their possession are exempt.

The Florida Trail consists of orange blazes with blue blazes noting side trails to camp sites or water sources. A double orange blaze indicates a change in the trail and hikers should be alert for the next blaze. Before embarking along the trail, all hikers must fill out a registration card located at each trailhead's kiosk.
