Explore natural Florida with an adventure

on the state's most notable hiking trail



Stretching

1,500 miles between Pensacola and the Everglades, the Florida National Scenic

Trail has over 100 trailheads, most located within an easy drive from nearby urban

areas. A guide to the best scenic day hikes and overnight trips along this

state-spanning footpath, Florida Trail

Hikes leads readers to showy overlooks, wildflower-dotted prairies, river

rapids, steep bluffs, tall sand dunes, and many other compelling destinations.

Updated in this third edition with the most current route details, this book

provides full-color maps, options for lengthening and shortening hikes, and

information on nearby towns for use as base camps. Selected from the personal

experiences of the authors, the hikes in this book include many loop trails convenient

for solo hikers as well as several accessible trail sections. Sandra Friend and

John Keatley also offer the backstory of the Florida Trail, first blazed in

1966, and the hidden history of Florida that hikers will encounter on their

journeys. Florida Trail Hikes helps readers of all backgrounds and experience levels plan an outdoor getaway

amid Florida's natural beauty.
