That’s a great spot. Some great trails to go down around there. Keep knocking out those coordinates.
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while folks. My rig has been down and life has been crazy with work.
I’d love to do a meetup still.

Hey guys, fellow overlander from Pensacola a little meet and barbecue is happening on the 28th of this month at Anderson pond near Eglin Afb if you would like to come please check out the rally point that was made by TxRanger3006 and that I have linked below if you are going please click like and respond with attending. We are trying to finalize how much food that we will need so if we can get a more solid number soon that will help. A few of us may go hit the trails in the Eglin Range during or after the meet if you would like to hit them with us you will need to purchase a pass from the Jackson Guard for the Eglin Ranges the link for that pass is in the Rally Point. Hope to see you guys there!

Hello friends! I am sorry that I have been out of pocket for so long about this. I have been crazy with work and some big overlanding projects. That being said. I have completed a “trans eglin” route that is ready to be shared with many of you. Due to the crazies that break rules and act like fools I choose to not openly share most of my routes and trails. Instead you may request access to the route and honestly I’m going to creep you a bit to make sure you aren’t some idiot with a mud truck out ruining trails [emoji6][emoji23] ♂. Anyways. This route hits up ALL of the coordinates I shared recently and a few other that I kept secret. If you are interested in the trans Eglin route I will share the Gaia folder with you after we chat [emoji106] cheers and tread lightly fam [emoji123]

I love the looks of this trail !!! If there is a spotter , thats the good stuff , hehe. I live in fort Walton Beach and run the RES a lot but this trail looks like a ton of fun
With the weather getting cooler, was trying to see if anyone would be interested in planning out a weekend trip to do some exploring and camping? I haven’t been out to any of the areas locally since I got to the panhandle so I’m itching for a trip.
I’d LOVE to see that map! I’m brand new to OB so you won’t be able to find much of a history on me, but you can look at my IG account (sbrooksshell) to get a comfort level that I’m not “an idiot with a mud truck” [emoji851]. I’m also just beginning to figure out Gaia and have a few good spots in Blackwater that I’d love to share. Thanks for the great thread!

I’m going to TX and I’ll be passing by. What are the trails like? Could a stock Subaru Forester make it to most of the landmarks?

The post has been made have a few hours left of editing to the route to be done on the maps. But it’s time to share the journey.

We just wrapped up a truly epic adventure that has been a long time coming for our little crew. Some of you may know that I have been working to create a trail that would connect many of the great state forests and WMA's in the state of Florida. For the past 4 days, we explored some new areas...

I am going to run some routes with a couple buddies from work later this morning. I haven’t done any of these before. Apparently it starts around Munson just North of Blackwater and then head back South toward some clay and sand pits. If they’re any good I’ll report back and throw up pictures up. Hope all you guys are finding some time to get with everything else that’s going on.

Just came across this post. I lived on Pensacola Beach and in the city of Pensacola for years and never knew about the trails out at Eglin. That looks awesome though!
I used to spend a couple weekends a month camping and exploring the trails in the Blackwater River State Forest to the east of Berrydale. If you haven't been up that way, you should definitely check out that area too. There are a few really nice spots with white sand beaches to camp on along Coldwater Creek.

Is that in South Florida near Naples? I think I remember as a young boy fishing with my Grandfather in the Blackwater River.

According to the Jackson Guard website it is still open, just no camping unless you already had a camping permit since the office to purchase camping passes is closed.
