Welcome!
Incorporated in 1964, the Florida Trail Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer organization that builds, maintains, protects, and promotes the 1,400 mile Florida Trail, one of only eight National Scenic Trails in the United States, in partnership with the USDA Forest Service. Our volunteers also build and maintain other trails on public land, known as the Florida Trail System. With 18 local chapters, FTA provides educational opportunities for people to learn to appreciate and conserve the natural beauty of Florida, as well as recreational opportunities for hiking and camping.
Take a walk in the woods! With trailheads along and near major highways throughout Florida, the Florida Trail is within an hour's drive of most Florida residents and major tourist destinations.
Welcome to Inverness! The county seat of Citrus County was the focus of our upcoming National Trails Day celebration as we honored Inverness as one of our newest Florida Trail Gateway Communities. Learn more about Inverness with our Grab-and-Go Guide.
2007 Accomplishments
Each year, the Florida Trail Association pulls together its accomplishments to present to the United States Congress and key supporters in Washington, D.C. during Trail Advocacy Week, held in February. This short presentation on YouTube recaps the positive outcomes of our many programs that benefit you, the hiker, and supporter of the Florida Trail Association.
Coming Soon! We're in the process of building a new website with more detail to help you plan your hikes and to get involved with the Florida Trail Association, and will be launching it this summer. Stay tuned!
