Horseback riding at Gulf Islands National Seashore in Florida

Visitors to Gulf Islands National Seashore in Florida who have their own horses are welcome to ride on the trails in the Naval Live Oaks Area that lie north of Gulf Breeze Parkway. This is the only place in Gulf Islands National Seashore, both in Florida and Mississippi, where horseback riding is allowed.

While I did not ride a horse, I did hike 6 miles of the trails at Naval Live Oaks. See the Naval Live Oaks Loop Hike web page for trail reviews and photographs.

Call (850) 934-2600 to inquire about parking options.
