Black Cat - FS 122

Trail Overview

Black Cat, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 122, connects Mercer at the north end and Queens Bay at the south end. It takes you through the southwest part of the Apalachicola National Forest along Black Cat Island and gives you access to a few OHV and Off-Road trails. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot deep mud holes after rainy days, and a few permanent Mud Holes and Water Crossings. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. Please be aware that the cellphone reception is weak. The Apalachicola National Forest is located in the eastern part of Florida's panhandle. It's home to some of the most unique animal and plant species in the world. Here, visitors can enjoy safe, family-friendly activities such as fishing, hunting, hiking, and trail-riding while surrounded by tranquil, diverse ecosystems.
