Wild Florida - Off the beaten path
The Florida Black Bear National Scenic Byway was designated a national scenic byway on the merits of its natural and recreational resources.
This area has managed to preserve the “old”, real, natural or “wild” Florida. The preservation of forest lands and lack of urban sprawl have kept this area removed from condos, strip malls and major attractions that have claimed much of the old Florida. This Byway and its corridor’s greatest strength is this expanse of natural recreational lands and waterways.
The corridor and surrounding area are rich in existing attractions, which provide travelers a variety of experiences. The greatest resources of this byway are best experienced by stopping and getting off the byway to visit the springs, forests, trails, rivers, and lakes.
