Largest of Florida's three national forests, encompasses 565,543 acres in four northwestern counties. Its varied terrain includes pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks, swamp rivers, lakes and two wilderness areas, Bradwell Bay and Mud Swamp/New River. Secluded lakes and streams and c anoe trails on the Sopchoppy and lower Ochlockonee rivers make this area popular with canoeists. Several lakes have campgrounds and hiking trails. Hunting and fishing also are popular activities. A portion of the Florida National Scenic Trail, a scenic hiking route through the state, passes through the forest, showcasing a wide variety of plants and wildlife native to the area. Hikers may catch glimpses of such rare and endangered species as Florida alligators, red-cockaded woodpeckers, indigo snakes and southern bald eagles. One of the forest's special features is Trout Pond, a recreational facility designed for the physically limited. It offers a fishing pier and an interpretive trail. Further information about the forest can be obtained at the district headquarters offices in Crawfordville, 850.926.3561; and in Bristol, 850.643.2282.
