Brown House - FS 309

The Brown House Trail, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 309, is a 14-mile-long trail that connects Otter Camp South at the west end and County Road 267 at the east end. It takes you through the north-east part of the Apalachicola National Forest and gives you access to several OHV and off-road trails and a picnic area with restrooms. 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.
