Lines Group Camp Lake Talquin State Forest

About

Lines Group Camp is a primitive youth group campsite situated within the Line's Tract of Lake Talquin State Forest in Gadsden County, Florida. Located approximately 31 miles west of Tallahassee, this remote site offers a true backcountry camping experience with minimal amenities. The single campsite can accommodate up to 20 people and includes a fire ring/grill and picnic table. Access to the campsite requires either hiking or biking 2 miles on the Lines Trail from the main trailhead, or driving in via service roads with a vehicle gate code provided upon reservation. The trailhead features a vault restroom, picnic pavilion, and parking area. The 10-mile Lines Trail system is designed for beginner to intermediate mountain bikers and offers opportunities for hiking, trail running, bird watching, and wildlife photography. This is a pack-in, pack-out camping experience. No potable water, electricity, or showers are available, so campers must bring all necessary supplies including drinking water. Reservations are required and can be made through Florida State Forests ReserveAmerica up to 11 months in advance.
