GO NORTH FOR
FLORA, FAUNA,
FOOD AND FUN
By Jim McClellan
Before the sugar-white sand and crystal water makes its
way to Pensacola Beach, it travels south on the currents
of the Escambia and Perdido rivers. Those who appreciate
nature as a beautiful work in progress and look for fun
in unexpected places will find plenty to love when they
venture upstream.
North Pensacola awaits visitors with
a relaxed spirit and unique natural
treasures. Whether you want an
exciting adventure, a peaceful retreat
or creative cuisine in a comfortable
atmosphere, North Pensacola is an
ideal destination for a change of pace.

Start your exploration with a hike
or bike ride along one of the area’s
unspoiled trails like those found at the
University of West Florida (UWF).
The trails offer a variety of lengths and
difficulties for hiking, biking or trail
running, ranging from short with gentle
inclines to advanced trails with steep
hills — perfect for a fun but challenging
adventure.
