Offroading Public Land in the Florida Panhandle. We are blessed to have the access to public land! Within one hour of my house I have over 3,000,000 acres of public land to explore. Over this summer we will be exploring as much public land as possible! In this episode we explore Eglin Airforce Base, Choctaw East Unit. Eglin AFB is 464,000 acres with 250,000 acres open to conditional public access.
A permit is required to access the public land in Eglin AFB. This permit is available from Jackson Guard in Niceville, FL or can be purchased online at:
eglin.isportsman.net/
Also you need to check the PAM (public access map) for daily closures at:
eglin.isportsman.net/Maps.aspx
It is also extremely helpful to download the Avenza Map app and download the free Eglin AFB map to make sure you stay in the open areas.
