With 18 local chapters geographically dispersed throughout Florida, the Florida Trail Association offers the opportunity for you to meet like-minded hikers in your own backyard! Local chapters publish their own newsletters; present educational seminars open to the public; lead activities such as hikes, backpacking trips, kayaking, and geocaching; and build and maintain the Florida Trail and other local trails within their regions. Some chapters maintain their own websites; others present their current information on local activities through uploaded newsletters. Learn more about our local chapters here.
