| 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. |
