Q:
Are there any trails to do an overnight camping hike? A 5 or 10 mile hike one way would be perfect.
A:
The Juniper Trail in the Black Water State Forest ("adjacent" to the park) is 8+ miles one way. Could hike in, spend the nt and hike back out.
Q:
Any hiking trails I want to do an overnighter. Five or ten Miles is about right.
A:
There is minimal hiking trails right at the campground. However, the Florida trail is close and you can go for as long as you'd like on that.
