On-Site Salt Water Fishing

Avalon Landing maintains a Florida site-specific pier saltwater fishing license that enables all of Avalon’s guests to fish off of our dock and bridge without having to apply and pay for a Florida resident or non-resident saltwater fishing license. Florida Saltwater fishing licenses can cost between $17 and $47 depending on the state resident versus non-resident status and for up to a one year license.
Avalon Landing RV Park guests regularly catch legal-sized Flounder, Red Drum (Redfish), Spotted Sea Trout (Speckled Trout) and Blue Crabs from its dock and canal bridge.
Avalon Landing RV Park also maintains some loaner fishing equipment and for those fish licensed or age exempt guests that may want to float fish on very productive Indian Bayou and the estuary waters between Avalon Landing RV Park and Escambia Bay it offers Kayak or canoe rentals.
On-site and bayou/estuary saltwater game fishing and crabbing makes Avalon Landing RV Park for a unique and memorable stay for both seasoned or beginning anglers.
In short, Avalon Landing RV Park’s logo speaks for itself!

Blackwater Heritage State Trail
Blackwater Heritage State Trail, the westernmost state rail-trail, winds through the historic town of Milton and extends eight miles north to join the U.S. Navy’s 1.5-mile Military Heritage Trail, which ends at the Naval Air Station Whiting Field. The more than nine miles of paved trail offer an enjoyable trip through a quaint North Florida town and out into the countryside where wooden bridges cross several creeks and native wildflowers dot the landscape.
Designated as a National Recreation Trail® and part of Florida’s State Greenways and Trails System, this paved trail is the perfect venue for biking, running, walking and skating, along with picnicking and bird watching activities. An unpaved equestrian trail parallels the paved trail. Equestrians may use the paved trail or unpaved shoulder at their discretion; bridges are shared by all trail users. Equestrian use is prohibited on the Military Heritage Trail.
The main trailhead is located near the intersection of State Road 87 and U.S. Highway 90 in Milton. A visitor center, located approximately one mile from the trailhead, offers parking, restrooms, picnic tables, barbeque grills, an amphitheater, and a playground.
Blackwater Heritage State Trail – 8.1 miles, paved, (equestrian unpaved).
North of the city, the University of West Florida offers woodland and wetland trails, including the Edward Ball Nature Trail, which includes a half-mile of boardwalk on Thompson Bayou, a beautiful hardwoods swamp.
