The Osceola National Forest offers nearly 40 miles of horseback riding trails in four loops. The Vinzant Riding Trail on the Apalachicola National Forest covers 29 miles in three sections. Some national forest trails are designated for only certain types of trail use to provide a quality trail experience and protect the natural resources. Please respect these trail designations and please be aware of others using the trails. Remember that hikers and cyclists should yield to horses, which may be easily spooked by unfamiliar or unexpected sights or sounds.
All trails are open year-round and marked with patches of paint on trees called blazes.
However, trail users are advised to wear highly visible, orange clothing during the various hunting seasons, which start in October and end in March or April. Trail information and maps are available from any district ranger office or one of the visitor information centers. The 31.5-mile Apalachee Savannahs Scenic Byway is on the western flank of the Apalachicola National Forest. It starts just south of Bristol and consists of portions of County Roads 12 and 379 and State Highway 65. Travelers along this Byway can view landscapes of outstanding scenic quality.
