Black Hammock Wilderness Area Natural Resources and Trails

BACK TO BLACK HAMMOCK MAIN PAGE

The trail system at the Black Hammock Wilderness Area consists of one main loop trail (4.5 miles round trip) blazed in blue. There are many unmarked trails (fire lines) on this property. Please stay on the marked (blue) trail system for your safety.

These trails take you on a boardwalk over a mixed hardwood swamp, through pine flatwoods and finally, sand pine scrub. In an effort to protect the resources of this relatively small wilderness area, the trail system is limited to hikers, bikers and local equestrians. Please note that for the safety of equestrians and other users, horses are not permitted on boardwalks.
