East Branch - FS 306

East Branch, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 306, connects Otter Camp at the west end and Brown House at the east end. It takes you through the north east part of the Apalachicola National Forest and gives you access to several trails along the County Border. 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. There are a few mud holes that never dry up! The road is not 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.
