Blackwater Heritage State Trail, the westernmost state rail-trail, winds through the historic town of Milton and extends 8.1 miles north to join the U.S. Navy's 1.5-mile Military Heritage Trail, which ends at the Naval Air Station Whiting Field.

Blackwater River boasts an incredible array of activities for the outdoor enthusiast, many centered around the park’s namesake waterway.

Boasting more than 5 miles of pristine beaches and 3 miles of bike trails, Little Talbot offers untouched natural beauty and diverse ecosystems for visitors to explore. Enjoy a morning beachcombing, an afternoon fishing and an evening camping along the eastern salt marshes.

Occupying more than 70,000 acres of land formerly known as the Cross Florida Barge Canal, the Greenway is a 110-mile linear park that is more than a mile wide in places. It hosts more than 300 miles of trails of all types — paddling, hiking, mountain biking, equestrian and paved multi-use.

This area is ecologically unique due to the adjacent placement of the high, dry sandhill community where the trailhead and campground are located, and the ephemeral wetland that is located just north of the public use facilities.
