Welcome to Florida Hikes! I’m Sandra Friend, a Florida author and travel writer. Back in February 2006, I started Florida Hikes! as a blog to share my favorite hikes, and dusted off old webmaster skills to bring it up to what it is today – a robust hiking community sharing our love of hiking in Florida, from easy walks on boardwalks to backpacking trips on the Florida Trail.
With more than 5,000 miles of hiking trails to explore across two time zones, there are hikes in Florida for all ages, abilities, and interests. I hope you enjoy exploring this website and find it useful.

Since I write hiking guides on a regular basis, I do try to keep current with what’s changed out there. If you’ve seen changes to a trail, feel free to leave updates in the comments section. The content on this site is fluid – that is, don’t be surprised to see it change. As I package up a group of hikes for use in a book, I may compress the level of detail provided on these pages. Or if I revisit a site, I may add more information.
Membership to the forum is free. Register and share your passion for hiking with other Florida hikers here on the site. Contribute content, leave comments, make friends, and learn about all that hiking in Florida has to offer … it’s more unique than you think!
If you have more questions, no problem! Just drop me a line. Thanks for stopping in!
