Florida Trail - Etoniah Creek State Forest

Etoniah  State Forest - Florida

The section of the Florida National Scenic Trail running through the Etoniah Creek State Forest right here in Florahome's own backpacking yard should definitely not be overlooked while on the subject of trails. Talk about connections, this Florida Trail, linking to various other trails and traversing many other states provides a slow-speed but beautiful connection from the Florida Keys all the way to Canada. If your not up for the whole trip but would still like a great way to connect with nature and maybe your family as well, whether you live in Florahome or not, this part of the Florida Trail in Etoniah Creek State Forest might be just the thing.

A Bike Trail Through Florahome


Bike Trail - Florahome, FL

Welcome to the bike trail through Florahome - our part of the Palatka - Lake Butler State Trail. The railroad, which also once provided train access to and from Florahome has traded its rails for a trail that will eventually run from Palatka to Lake Butler and possibly even St. Augustine. The trail is now accessible in Florahome, Grandin and Keystone Heights, FL with the map below showing the part of the trail extending from Grandin to Etonia State Forest. While on the bike trail through Florahome, be sure to visit a bit of Florahome's past at Florahome Station. Meet the Cumbus family and enjoy a trip down memory lane through their many vintage treasures and antiques. Also, many thanks to all who made the bike trail through Florahome possible and may your chain never fall off.     It's an old Florahome saying.

Enjoy The Ride!
