Our Hiking Guides
We’ve been writing books to trails in Florida parks since 2001. These are some of our more recent ones.

Our bounty of parks in Florida includes everything from major national parks like Everglades National Park to more than 160 units of our award-winning Florida State Parks.
We also have parks created by and maintained by city and county parks and recreation agencies. Parks may charge a fee for entry when they have have developed facilities, including restrooms.
On our website, we tend to focus on parks that have an outdoor recreation element other than just a place for a picnic or a ball game, and of course, we prefer to visit parks that have some sort of trail worth exploring or a spring to swim in.
However, we do also list urban parks that enable you to enjoy a natural getaway in a city.
