Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail

Bellamy Bridge Location Trail

Take US231 North or South to Jacob Rd and go east.  Heritage Trail is about 2 miles on your right just before the bridge that crosses the Chipola River.

Head out on this 1.1-mile out-and-back trail near Marianna, Florida. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 19 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and walking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are January through May. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail is a 0.5 mile nature trail following a historic road first used by the Spanish in 1686. This trail has its own ghost. The Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail gives the hiker a chance to explore a Florida Floodplain Swamp and the upper Chipola River. Being in a floodplain, the area is subject to flooding and one should call Jackson County Parks Department at: (850) 718-0437. If you are lucky, you may see a wild hog or alligator. Make sure you bring bug spray

 

Made it down to Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail this morning.  Very nice hike.  Skies were blue, clear, about 70 degrees. Didn't make it down to the bridge due to flooding so we did the 1 mile track.  No significant finds, the AT Pro was mostly quiet.  Will probably do this again in the near future.
