Trail Overview
Glover Head, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 118-D, connects Bow East at the south end and County Road 65 at the north end. It takes you through the southwest part of the Apalachicola National Forest along the Glover Head District and gives you access to a few OHV trails. You have to cross abandon rail roads at the north end. 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 very narrow and 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.
