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.

Jen Powers will be our guest speaker. She has logged several thousand trail miles across multiple states and throughout Europe, and is an avid hiker and backpacker who passionately encourages others to discover and explore Florida’s beautiful trail.

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.
