Juniper Creek hiking trail, located in Blackwater State Forest, is a nice trail that follows along the Juniper Creek. The trail is 8.8 miles long and is a segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail.

We’ve hiked the northern section of trail multiple times. It’s a beautiful, well-marked trail and while hiking it you’ll enjoy a pine and hardwood forest. The northern section is lush with Magnolia trees that line the banks of the creek. In the spring, many shrubs and small trees will bloom.
There’s a beautiful overlook near the beginning of the trail overlooking the creek. The view is stunning.

Enjoy a short video and some pics of sights you’ll see along the trail!
This is one of my favorite trails in the area, especially the section along the red clay bluffs near Red Rock. It’s also great for overnight hikers and has a shelter about midway through.
Beverly, it is a nice trail. We were surprised by the bluffs. We want to also ride the Red Rock Mountain Bike Trail pretty soon. Didn’t realize it was there.
