Get out your hiking boots

Access opens to White Springs area trails

Hikers will now have better access to two tracts in the White Springs area owned by the Suwannee River Water Management District.

The District recently opened the Bell Springs and Swift Creek trailheads to vehicle access. Previously, both tracts were accessible only by foot.

The Bell Springs Trailhead, in Columbia County, is located east of White Springs on northwest Morrell Drive. Bell Springs provides about 54 acres of land for the public to hike, fish and bird watch.

The Swift Creek Trailhead, in Hamilton County, is located west of White Springs on CR 25A. Swift Creek provides 319 acres of land for the public to hike, fish and bird watch.

Both trailheads have a parking lot and access to fishing opportunities and to the Florida Trail.
