Membership Brochure

Support the Florida Trail Association and hiking in Florida by becoming a member. General membership is for individuals and families wanting to support the Florida Trail, to participate in local chapter activities, and to receive ongoing information about activities throughout Florida and places to hike via the Florida Trail Footprint, our bimonthly magazine, and local chapter newsletters.

Our members receive many benefits, including automatic membership in a local chapter in your area, which holds its own meetings and activities and sends out a newsletter pertinent to what's going on in your area; a subscription to the Florida Trail Footprint; free trail maintenance training workshops, including chainsaw certification; free participation in F-Troop, our team-building volunteer trail crews that tackle large projects like building bridges and boardwalks; a window decal and logo patch; opportunity to participate on decision-making committees covering major hiking issues; and voting privileges.

Membership dues start at $30 for a senior or student individual, $35 for other individuals and $45-$50 for a family, with additional supporting levels and life memberships available.   Join online, call the Florida Trail office (1-877-HIKE-FLA), or download, print and mail in an application from the link above.    If you have been referred by a Florida Trail member, please put that person's name in the box above "Confirm order" at the final step of checkout in the online store, mention their name when you call, or put their name under "I learned about the Florida Trail from:" on the application form.
