Trail Overview

Gum Creek Road takes you through the southern part of the Aucilla Wildlife Management Area from north to south and gives you access to several hiking and biking trails. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, some deep mud holes, and creek crossings. They can turn into 3 feet deep and hundreds of feet long water crossings after rainy days. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are highly recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. Aucilla Wildlife Management Area is located in the eastern part of Florida's panhandle. Two rivers, numerous springs, and miles of trails create memorable visits. Everything from bears to bream inhabit this Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail site.
