Florida Hikes: Your Outdoor Resource

Where will you hike today? Perhaps a stroll along a gentle boardwalk in a natural area near Orlando, or a ramble through the rugged ridges of Northwest Florida near Pensacola. A walk along a quiet stretch of seashore south of Sarasota, or a backpacking trip across the Ocala National Forest. In Florida, our habitat diversity and temperate winter climate means fabulous hiking opportunities – mild and wild – best enjoyed from October through April. Learn where and how here at Florida’s top resource for hiking information, Florida Hikes!
