Description
FL Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service
Blackwater River State Forest
The Coldwater Recreation Area, bordered to the north by Coldwater Creek, offers trails that take horseback riders through some of the most scenic woodlands in Florida. Opened in 1974, the facility has been a prized recreation area for bird dog and fox hound field trial participants and horseback riders. The forest around the campground is prescribed burned frequently to promote habitat for quail, red-cockaded woodpeckers, gopher tortoises and other native species. Because of frequent burning, beautiful vistas are located throughout the area.
