| The Western
Gate Chapter and the Choctawhatchee Chapter, are the
most northwestern chapters in the Florida Trail Association.
They draw their members from Escambia, Santa Rosa,
Okaloosa, and Walton Counties. They are dedicated to
hiking, camping and the enjoyment of the outdoors. They
also build and maintain trails in the 4 county region.
Completed trails are the Jackson Red Ground trail in Blackwater
State Forest and the Gulf Islands National Seashore section
of the Florida Nation Scenic Trail. One part of the Western
Gate's trails extends through the Blackwater State Forest northward
to the Alabama line. At present, both chapters are building sections of the Florida National Scenic Trail through Eglin Air Force Base. It is our dream that one day there will be a continuous footpath from the Everglades of Florida to Mount Katadin in Maine.. The trails the chapters are building today are part of that dream. |
