Serving Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties
The Central Florida Chapter of the Florida Trail Association was chartered in 1981 and is one of FTA’s largest chapters with more than 500 members. We maintain over 60 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail, along with trails in Wekiwa Springs State Park, and Little Big Econ and Charles Bronson State Forests.
Our active members lead and participate in many hiking, biking, paddling, camping and trail maintenance activities. Each Thanksgiving we have a group camping event at a state park or forest and each New Years we “retreat” to the Ocala National Forest for a fun-filled camp out and celebration.
Next Chapter Meeting:
August 21th, 6:30 @ Leu Gardens
Our monthly chapter meeting will resume at Leu Gardens in August. The guest speaker will be announced soon. Have a great summer everyone!
A former Boy Scout camp, Geneva Wilderness Area was acquired by Seminole County in 1994, the same year neighboring Little Big Econ State Forest was created.
A 1.5 mile loop trail leads through patches of oak scrub, passing an impressive dock that stretches out over a scenic prairie pond surrounded by lush pine flatwoods.
We have finished our chapter's trail maintenance for the 2024-2025 season. Stay tuned for an announcement for our 2025-2026 dates later this year!
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.
