Florida Trail Association, Inc.

The Florida Trail Association develops, maintains, protects and promotes a network of hiking trails throughout the state of Florida. Together with our partners we provide opportunities for the public to hike,engage in outdoor recreation, participate in environmental education and contribute to meaningful volunteer work. 

According to executive director, Dennis Miranda, "Our national scenic trail is nature's playground for our youth." 

The Florida Trail is abuzz with sounds of insects, a cacophony of bird songs and lush green foliage that is typical of the deep south temperate zone. Scheduling nature-based hikes on the Florida National Scenic Trail is a great way to bring new audiences, users and naturalist onto the trail. 

The Florida Trail Association has a strong partnership with the USDA Forest Service. In efforts to protect the trail corridor the Florida Trail Association and partners builds strong ties to conservation, preservation, outdoor recreation and nature appreciation groups.
