Trail Overview
Black Top, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 379, connects US 319 at the west end and Power Line East (FS 300C) at the east end. It takes you through the northeast part of the Apalachicola National Forest and gives you access to several trails in the area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot-deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. 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.
