Etoniah Creek State Forest, Protected forest near Florahome, Florida, US.

Etoniah Creek State Forest is a protected forest in North Central Florida with wetlands, pine forests, and hardwood swamps covering roughly 3,500 hectares (8,679 acres). The landscape shifts between different habitat types depending on water levels and season.

The Florida Forest Service established this protected area to preserve natural resources and provide recreation space for the public. Timber production was integrated as a sustainable use of the forest.

Two long-distance routes cross the forest: the Palatka–Lake Butler State Trail cuts along its southern edge, and the Florida National Scenic Trail passes through parts of it. The forest takes its name from Etoniah Creek, which flows through the main tract. The separate Manning Tract is named after Manning Road, the local side street beside County Road 309D.

The forest has marked trails for hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife watching that remain open year-round. Conditions vary by season, particularly in wetter months when the forest becomes more challenging to navigate.

Conradina etonia is a mint-family shrub that grows only in the sandhills around Etoniah Creek; the 8,679-acre forest west of Palatka near Florahome is its sole known site. The plant is listed as endangered, so the forest's two tracts, the main tract and the Manning Tract along Bardin Road, are managed with that single population in mind.
