Visiting the Little Big Econ State Forest in Florida is almost like being let in on a tremendous local secret. This giant tract of forest land near Geneva clocks in at over 10,000-acres, most of which is pure, unfettered natural beauty. If you want to take a dive headfirst into the beauty of Florida’s wilderness, then we recommend the Kolokee Loop Trail. It’s like stepping into a different world altogether…

The Little Big Econlockhatchee State Forest in Florida has a literal translation of “earth-mound stream” which means “river of many mounds.”

Many years ago, the Native Americans named the river for the man-made mounds of earth that dotted the waterways.

Today, the area has a lot of mixed-use purposes, from preserving the native ecosystems to protecting animals and plants, and even offering outdoor recreation areas for residents and visitors.

While there are a few hiking trails within these 10,000-acres worth exploring, we recommend the Kolokee Loop Trail.
