Econ River Wilderness Area Natural Resources & Trails

BACK TO ECON RIVER MAIN PAGE

The trail system at the Econ River Wilderness Area consists of one main loop trail blazed in red, one short swamp trail blazed in orange, and two unmarked auxiliary trails which all combine for a total of approximately 2.7 miles of trail. The red trail will take you through flatwoods, sandhill, and beautiful oak hammocks and offer a few scenic looks at the Econ river. Two additional unmarked trails provide additional areas for exploration. In an effort to protect the resources of this relatively small wilderness area, the trail system is limited to hikes and local ride in equestrians.
