Hike the Pioneer Trail

Let's hike part of the Pioneer Trail. We will start at the Dunn's Farm Trailhead in Jennings State Forest. We will quickly veer off onto the Sawyer Trail which connects to the Pioneer Trail. Hiking past Dunn's Cemetery and 3 waterfalls (that puts Niagara Falls to shame), we will hike back along the Dunn's Farm Trail. You need to be able to hike these moderately difficult, 5+ miles of some steep incline/decline hills and tripping hazards. There are no shortcuts once we start. We will stop and check out the beautifully maintained Dunn's Cemetery. There are parts that are more sun and some more shade. You MUST have water to join this hike. Also, suggest sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, snacks, and bug spray. There are no bathrooms in the lot or on the trail. We will meet at the trailhead located 1337 Long Horn Road, Middleburg. The GPS coordinates are 30.128850, -81.964160. Look for the North FL Trailblazer signs. This event will be held rain or shine, but will be cancelled if there is lightning.

There is ample parking with a $2.00 parking fee you can pay once there using a QR code.
