Come out and support the the local chapters of the Florida Trail Association: Western Gate, Choctawhatchee and Panhandle.

We are highlighting our local trails and will have hikes for all skill levels, camping, music, guest speakers, and a silent auction!

Florida Trail Association is a nonprofit responsible for developing, maintaining, protecting, & promoting a network of hiking trails throughout the state, including the unique Florida National Scenic Trail, commonly known as the “Florida Trail,” along with our primary agency partner, the U.S. Forest Service.

The Florida National Scenic Trail is a 1,500 mile federally designated trail beginning at Big Cypress National Preserve and ending at Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Our vision is to protect the natural, cultural, and historic landscapes along the Florida National Scenic Trail for future generations by providing a continuous trail system built by and for the people of Florida.

We do this by providing volunteer, recreational, and educational opportunities for the diverse population of our state and beyond.
