On arrival at the Black Bear Wilderness Area, you are faced with a few choices on which trail you would like to pursue.
The original round trip is a 2 Mile journey through a clearly marked trail, the highlight being and overlook on the scenic St. Johns River.

While this trail overall is covered in the protective shade of the natural trees and other vegetation, there are some steep and slippery inclines.
A Hiking Stick is strongly recommended!
