Trail Overview
Western Way North, also known as Apalachicola National Forest Road 314, connects County Road 375 at the south end and Brown House at the north end. It's a 14-mile-long trail that takes you through the north-east part of the Apalachicola National Forest and gives you access to several trails along the south part of the Bradwell Bay Wilderness. 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. There are several mud holes and water crossings that never dry up! 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.
