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, our program is all about our group summer travels. A lineup of members and guests will be sharing highlights from their adventures—from backcountry treks to overseas explorations. It’s a chance to connect, be inspired, and enjoy a variety of perspectives before we kick off the trail season this fall.
We’ll also be voting on our new leadership team for the upcoming term. Interested in stepping up? We’d love to have you on board!
Protecting nearly 700 acres in the ecologically sensitive St. Johns River floodplain, Black Hammock Wilderness Area presents a rich mosaic of flatwoods, scrub, basin swamp, and hydric hammock communities.
Managed by Seminole County, this preserve features an impressive set of boardwalks and a loop trail showcasing its variety of natural landscapes. The first part of this hike offers ample shade, making it a great destination for an early morning trek on a late summer day.
