The Central Florida Chapter of the Florida Trail Association was chartered in 1981 and is one of FTA’s largest chapters. We maintain over 60 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail, along with trails in Wekiwa Springs State Park, Little Big Econ, Seminole, and Charles Bronson State Forests.
Our members lead and participate in many hiking, biking, paddling, camping, and trail maintenance activities.
This month, we’re excited to welcome Christopher F. Meindl, a geography professor at the University of South Florida. Christopher will speak about his 2024 book, Florida Springs: From Geography to Politics and Restoration.
Bring a snack to share and join us for an evening of community, conservation, and storytelling.
Centered on the St. Johns River, Seminole Ranch Conservation Area protects almost 30,000 acres of land across three counties. In its southwestern corner, the property hosts a 4.5 mile segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail, picking up from Tosohatchee WMA to the south, and continuing northbound into Charles Bronson State Forest.
