Jacksonville-Baldwin Rails to Trails
Located Westside of Jacksonville
(The 14.5 paved trail runs East-West Imeson Road to Brandy Branch/SR 121)

 

Once a part of the CSX railway line, the Jacksonville-Baldwin Rails to Trails is a thoroughfare for hikers, bikers, and equestrian use.

The trail system, includes two separate paths: a multi-use asphalt trail for walking, jogging,  in-line skating and/or biking; and a trail for horseback riding. 

The Camp Milton Historic preserve serves as the halfway marker for the trail. 

Along the greenway, you'll see a diversity of natural habitats, including pine flatwoods, wetlands, and hardwood uplands.  These areas attract a variety of wildlife such as songbirds, hawks, wild turkey, and white-tailed deer.  The dense canopy that covers most of the trail provides shade on a sunny day and, in certain locations, even gives the illusion of traveling in a tunnel.  Several rest areas with benches are provided along the route. 

Park hours:  Sunrise - Sunset
