I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.

This is fantastic news!
On Nov. 17, Florida was awarded the title of Best Trails State in the Nation by American Trails, a nonprofit organization working to create, promote and protect trails of all types.
Florida has embraced the value of greenways and trails with an enthusiasm and level of quality that is a "model for the nation," said Bob Searns, chairman of the Board of Directors for American Trails. “Exemplary programs like the Office of Greenways and Trails, online trails database and regional trails forums have set a standard," he added.Â
Florida has an incredible network of recreational trails that create a "mesh" covering the entire state. You can be in the largest of cities or the smallest rural areas and still have access to an endless supply of pathways. For example, did you know there is a hiking route from Key West all the way to Pensacola; or that Florida has more than 1,000 miles of paved biking paths?
Make sure to visit the Office of Greenways and Trails web site for more information. Also, check out the Recreational Trails Network map, it's a great planning resource for your adventures here in the Sunshine State!
