Trailhead begins at the Naval Live Oaks Visitor Center.

Named after President Andrew Jackson, this 5.3-mile round-trip trail winds through a coastal forest filled with towering live oaks and pine trees. Portions of the trail lead to scenic waterfront areas with clear views of Pensacola Bay.

Restroom facilities and picnic areas available near the visitor center.

This trail follows part of an old trade route used in the 19th century and provides a glimpse into the region’s historical significance.

Loops around an old borrow pit near the main trail system.

A shorter, easy-going loop with dense tree cover. Excellent for birdwatching, particularly during migratory seasons when warblers, woodpeckers, and herons are common.

A quieter alternative to the longer trails, ideal for those looking for a relaxing nature walk.

The pit was originally excavated for road materials, but nature has reclaimed it, providing a habitat for local wildlife.

Runs parallel to the shoreline with elevated wooden boardwalk sections.

Panoramic water views, occasional sightings of dolphins in the bay, and access to secluded beach areas.

Early mornings or sunset hikes provide the best chances for wildlife sightings and cooler temperatures.

Early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

Comfortable hiking shoes, insect repellent, water, and sunscreen.

From Navarre Beach, drive west on US-98 for approximately 20 minutes. Parking is available at the visitor center.
