The Nature Conservancy Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve (Garden of Eden trail)

Our trail opens to a spectacular view of Alum Bluff, 135 feet above the Apalachicola River. The Garden of Eden hiking trail is a 3.75-mile round-trip, self-guided trail through forests that local legend claims is the original Garden of Eden. For your safety and enjoyment, please observe our preserve rules: Due to the fragile nature of the local soils, the trail is open to foot traffic only—bicycles and horses are not allowed. Pets are not allowed on trail. All plants, animals and other natural resources on the preserve are protected. Collecting of any kind is prohibited. The bluff is unstable and dangerous, please stay off. No littering, camping or fires allowed on the preserve. Hunting occurs in the local area and on portions of the prese
