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, and Little Big Econ, Seminole, and Charles Bronson State Forests.
Our members lead and participate in many hiking, biking, paddling, camping, and trail maintenance activities.
Mark your calendars for our annual Seasonal Hikers’ Get-Together — an evening of food, friendship, and celebration as we wrap up another incredible year on the Florida Trail!
We’re thrilled to welcome Tisha McCombs, Executive Director of the Florida Trail Association, as our guest speaker. Tisha will share stories from her journey in trail leadership and her passion for protecting and connecting America’s public lands.
Named after a prominent flatwoods lake on the western side of the property, Lake Proctor Wilderness Area showcases an impressive mosaic of ecosystems along a nearly six-mile network of trails.
This public land is one of nine wilderness areas owned and managed by Seminole County, all of which offer free access.
December 3rd @ Little Big Econ State Forest
Join the FTA Central Florida Chapter for a trail work day in the Little Big Econ State Forest.
What to expect: We will use a combination of power equipment and hand tools to bring the trail back up to standard. We will: mow, lop (trim) branches, paint new blazes and at times, inspect or repair infrastructure.
The Florida Trail Association develops, maintains, protects, and promotes a network of hiking trails throughout the state, including the unique Florida National Scenic Trail.
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.
