The Apalachicola National Forest offers recreational opportunities for all interests. Rivers, streams, trails and forest roads provide access to quiet spots within more than 500,000 acres of forest heavy in the longleaf pine and wiregrass habitats that have otherwise vanished from most of the Southeast.

Dispersed Camping: Many enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of dispersed camping away from developed sites and other campers. However, no services and limited facilities are available. For a successful trip, you may need to acquire additional responsibilities and skills. Know your limits and abilities.

Our interactive visitor map includes information about most national forest recreation sites and roads. This product is a work in progress. We will update it as new information becomes available. .

Rules and regulations help keep your experience safe and forest settings scenic and unspoiled for fellow visitors. For example, dogs are welcome on the forest, but they must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed on the beach at swimming areas.
