Cary State Forest
February 8th, 2010 | 
Author: If you would like to get away from it all to a nice little place that is not frequented by a lot of people you should take a little ride out to Bryceville on the Northwest side of North Jacksonville. The Cary State Forest has primitive Campsites, a shower room and restroom facilities for campers. There is also a Nature Teaching House if you Boy or Girl Scout Troop want to have a learning session. There are trails throughout the park as well as horseback riding trails. You can see what is available on the State of Florida website here: http://www.fl-dof.com/state_Forests/cary.html#rec We enjoyed our time there and look forward to going once again. There wasn’t anyone else there on the day that we went. It was very quiet. The campsites looked to be well maintained but the Shower Room was in the process of being renovated. Hopefully by now they will have finished fixing them. You can contact them to find out the current prices and status of the park at:
