Trail Overview

The Springhill Cut-Off, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 317, connects the Leslie trail at the south end and the Freebird South trail at the north end. It takes you through the north-east part of the Apalachicola National Forest along the power lines and gives you access to several OHV trails. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, some deep holes, and a ditch that can turn into 3-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is 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.
