Trail Overview
Saplin Head Swamp, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 107, is a loop trail that starts and ends at Queens Bay. It takes you through the southwest part of the Apalachicola National Forest along Saplin Head Swamp and gives you access to a few OHV and off-road trails in the area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot deep mud holes after rainy days, and several permanent Mud Holes and Water Crossings. It is a narrow trail that is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are highly 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.
