The East Florida Road (Forest Road 597) winds steeply uphill past the

short, easy hikes to backcountry lakes.

trees for target practice, leaving several scarred trees throughout the area.

historic target tree. The campground is also known for its great birding
opportunities, with a sign in the campground that lists species found in the
area.  
  
The Narrow Gauge Trail begins within the campground and climbs 3.4 miles to an
old railroad grade. The rails were placed just three feet apart to allow
trains to navigate through the rugged mountains.
