Jennings State Forest

Jennings State Forest extends across 24,000 acres, featuring diverse ecosystems including sandhills, seepage slopes, and the headwaters of Black Creek.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services established this forest to implement sustainable forestry practices and maintain ecological preservation.

The forest serves as an educational center where visitors learn about forest management, conservation methods, and the importance of protecting natural habitats.

Visitors can access multiple trails, four canoe launch points, primitive camping areas, and designated spaces for activities like hiking, horseback riding, and fishing.

The forest contains an Upland Ecosystem Restoration Project covering 5,000 acres dedicated to protecting species like the gopher tortoise and northern bobwhite.
