Trail Closures and Notices

Backcountry conditions change constantly. It is your responsibility to be prepared for the unexpected.

Below are the existing trail closures and notice to hikers (NTH) on the Florida Trail (FNST). Trail conditions are categorized by region, with the most recent notice first. This information depends on your contributions. Please report trail conditions by contacting the FTA office at 352-378-8823 or submit via this form here or download here to send.

Please NOTE: Permanent trail corridor changes to the FNST will be followed with an annual (each October) update to the official FNST maps. The related NTH will be removed from this website at that time.

***Florida has unpredictable weather and environmental conditions such as storms and wildfires. Sudden closures or trail notices may not be immediately reflected on our website. As an important part of planning your hike, be sure to contact or visit the website of the land managing agency for the section you to plan to hike. Land managing agency contacts can be found here.
