This trail is a public-spirited effort of the Foley Land
and Timber Company in cooperation with the Florida Trail Association.
The forestry practices are visible along the trail. The Econfina
River flows diagonally across the section. Deer, turkey, and
other wildlife may be observed on occasion. Private hunt clubs
lease the land for hunting.
FLORIDA FORESTRY FESTIVAL
Each year in late October, the Florida forestry industry celebrates
its good fortunes with this gala festival at Perry in Taylor
County. A parade, a giant fish fry, an awards banquet, and a
crafts exposition attract nearly 50,000 people to this Big Bend
city's festival every year. Hikers are welcome to attend.

Location: The trail is in Taylor and Madison counties on forest
roads of the Foley Land and Timber Company. The west terminus
is on CR 14 about nine miles south of Lamont. The east terminus
is in Madison County, south of the town of Madison and CR 360. |
