Geographic Areas

The Florida Trail is approximately 1,500-miles long, and is intended to offer a continuous, permanent non-motorized recreation opportunity for hiking and other compatible activities. Over its length, it showcases the incredible biodiversity, history, and rich culture of Florida.  Its termini lie in Gulf Islands National Seashore to the North, and Big Cypress National Preserve to the South. 

The Florida Trail is divided into four main geographic regions: the Southern region, the Central region, the Northern region and the Panhandle region.
