Hike the Pioneer Trail

10-MILES Let's get ready to sweat and burn some calories! This will be a linear out and back hike. We will start at the Dunn's Farm Trailhead in Jennings State Forest. We will be taking the green Crosscut Trail that connects to the blue Pioneer Trail and then hike to the North Fork Recreation Area. You NEED to be able to hike these moderately difficult 10-miles of some steep incline/decline hills and tripping hazards. There are no shortcuts once we start. There are parts that are more sun and some more shade. You MUST carry at least 1 liter of water (minimum of two-16.9 fl oz bottle) if not more. This is May in Florida, and it will be hot. 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.
