The Florida Trail Association
We are the Florida Trail Association, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit responsible for developing, maintaining, protecting, & promoting a network of hiking trails throughout the state, including the unique Florida National Scenic Trail, commonly known as the “Florida Trail,” along with our primary agency partner, the U.S. Forest Service.
The Florida National Scenic Trail is a 1,500 mile federally designated trail beginning at Big Cypress National Preserve and ending at Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Our vision is to protect the natural, cultural, and historic landscapes along the Florida National Scenic Trail for future generations by providing a continuous trail system built by and for the people of Florida.
We do this by providing volunteer, recreational, and educational opportunities for the diverse population of our state and beyond.

The only thing we love more than trails is volunteers! Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Florida Trail Association. Every year, hundreds of people from Florida and across the nation and even the world contribute thousands of hours to building and maintaining the Florida Trail! Our volunteers make generous contributions of their time and resources to help preserve the trail for the enjoyment of future generations.
