Hike the Florida Trail in Camp Blanding

We'll hike about 4 miles on the Florida Trail through Camp Blanding. We'll visit historic Lake Magnolia State Park - one of Florida's last African-American parks during the ugly period of segregation. We'll also pass by several beautiful lakes.

Bring sun screen, bug spray, and plenty of water. No pets. No restrooms at the trailhead.
