Mercer - FS 187

Trail Overview

Mercer Teologia begins as a wide, well-maintained two-lane road before transitioning into a narrow, rugged one-lane two-track, offering a variety of terrains and experiences. The trail starts with smooth, easy driving but quickly shifts to more adventurous terrain as it winds deeper into the forest. Along the way, several spur roads branch off, offering great opportunities for off-the-beaten-path camping in secluded areas surrounded by tall pines and scenic views. The trail passes through areas with old fire scars, providing a glimpse into the forest's history and natural recovery. As you continue, you'll encounter a couple of decently deep creek crossings that add a fun challenge, particularly after rain. The trail's mix of soft, sandy patches and occasional water crossings make it a great option for those looking to experience the diverse landscapes of the Apalachicola National Forest. Remember to pack in, pack out, leave no trace, and tread lightly.
