"New for 2024! Starting and ending in Branford, Florida at Hatch Park
There is a 70 mile full loop and 47 mile short loop" - Part of the North Florida Freeride Gravel Series -   / norflafreeridegravelseries  

"Mallory Swamp Wildlife Management Area (WMA) includes more than 31,318 acres in southeastern Lafayette County, southwest of Branford. The cypress swamps, titi swamp, peat bogs and uplands are recovering from a severe wildfire that swept through the area in 2001. This fire, in combination with restoration of natural water levels, should result in accelerated recovery of the area's native vegetation. Recreational opportunities include hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hiking, and cycling." - https://myfwc.com/recreation/cooperat...

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew rides the 70 mile Mallory Swamp loop with a fun group of cyclists who made the trip from near and far!
