Get your message out to an enthusiastic outdoor audience
Since February 2006, Florida Hikes! has been the primary source of online hiking information for both Florida visitors and residents. Winning awards from American Trails and the Florida Outdoor Writers Association, this website is at the top of its game for name recognition and Google keywords in its niche. Our weekly total reach on Facebook has exceeded 74,000 people, and our normal monthly traffic has topped 40,000 UVs during hiking season. Our overall audience on the website, Facebook, and Twitter continues to grow.
Whether you’re providing a direct service that hikers might be interested in, such as outfitting, shuttles, gear, or food, or represent a destination within Florida that appeals to folks who love the outdoors, or an outdoor event such as a birding festival, you’ll find Florida Hikes! a great value for your advertising dollar.
