Confirmed from Florida Trail Red Rock Trailhead Red Clay Cliffs' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Laid-back spot featuring trails for hiking and swimming, plus cliffs created by Juniper Creek.
What runners say about Florida Trail Red Rock Trailhead Red Clay Cliffs
“It was, however, beautiful and all the creeks in the Blackwater made for great spots to cool off.”
“This was an excellent spot to hangout and was as beautiful as it was peaceful.”
My backpacking partner and I hiked from here to Karrick Lake (to the north) from April 19, 1996 to April 21, 1996 along the Florida Trail. It was very hot and buggy as all of Florida is from spring onward. It was, however, beautiful and all the creeks in the Blackwater made for great spots to cool off.
Very beautiful hike. The best part is the variety of terrain. It has something new around every curve. The sad part was people carving their names in the cliffs. However it is worth the trip to come see it!
This is a nice little trail that follows the nearby creak. Pleasant swimming water, some fishing to do, the rode on the way in cam be good for some biking
Loved it! Maintained well with beautiful trees. I’d recommend taking the south trail across the road from the sign since it takes you down to the water and cliffs. There’s even a small parking lot off the side of the road which was helpful
