Want To Sponsor The Blackwater Trail?

July 2, 2013

Want your company name on the Blackwater Trail in Milton? Now you can.

A year after lawmakers agreed to allow advertising on state greenways and trails, the Florida Park Service has announced that sponsors are being sought for seven multi-use, paved trails from the Panhandle to the Florida Keys. The trails announced Monday are the first to be put up for potential sponsorship from the July 2012 law that some critics argued would diminish hiking in serene, uncluttered natural habitats.

With the negotiated sponsorship comes pre-approved, logo-covered signs at trailheads and access points that could be either 4 square feet or 16 square feet, depending upon the type of access point. A mandatory teleconference call is planned for July 15 for those interested in sponsoring a trail.

The seven state trails are: Blackwater Heritage Trail near Milton in the Florida Panhandle; Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail south of Tallahassee; Palatka-Lake Butler State Trail in north-central Florida; Nature Coast State Trail from Cross City to Chiefland crossing the lower Suwannee River; Withlacoochee State Trail south of Dunnellon; General James A. Van Fleet State Trail through Central Florida’s Green Swamp; and the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail from Key Largo to Key West.
