About Four Creeks State Forest
Four Creeks State Forest is located between Callahan and Yulee, Florida, on approximately 13,658 acres in Nassau County. The property was acquired jointly by the St. Johns River Water Management District and Florida Forever Program’s Northeast Florida Timberlands and Watershed Reserve Project. Four Creeks were named after the four water systems that cross it: Alligator (Mills), Thomas, Boggy and Plummer creeks. The four creeks join to form the headwaters of the Nassau River, which borders the southeastern portion of the forest.
Recreation
The Florida Forest Service has developed a five-year recreation plan that includes establishing trail systems and public camping facilities. As trails and campsites are developed, they will be marked and will be included in future brochures.
Recreational activities on Four Creeks State Forest include hiking, hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, nature study, bicycling and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing fall under the direction of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. We encourage non-hunting recreationists to check the Four Creeks Wildlife Management Area regulations and season dates before visiting.
In keeping with its mission to protect and manage Florida's forest resources, the Florida Forest Service has developed rules that apply to all State Forest visitors. Find out more about State Forest fees and rules.
