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 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.
