Life is Better with a Campfire

Join Fla Trail for a evening around the campfire at Seminole State Forest. Bring your marshmallows, choc bars, graham crackers and a folding chair that you can carry. Meet in the parking lot of Seminole State Forest (south side) at the Bear Pond trailhead located north of State Road 46, approximately 5 miles west of Interstate 4. From there we will walk .8 of a mile on the trail to primitive shelter#8 that has been reserved. We will have a big fire and share stories (scary, funny or otherwise entertaining). Bring your family as kids are welcome. If you are a camper, you can stay in the primitive shelter which is a 3 sided building with a raised floor and sleeps 10. So, find your flashlights, think of some good stories and join Fl Trail Assoc for a winter night in the woods. Cost: $2.00 iron ranger fee and $2.00 per person paid at event for the campsite reservation.

Together with other adjacent public and private lands, the forest provides a vital wildlife corridor between the Wekiva Basin and the Ocala National Forest. This corridor has a rich abundance of wildlife including the Florida black bear. The state forest provides habitat for one of the largest populations of the threatened Florida Scrub-jay.
