Using this comprehensive hiker's guide to travel services along Florida's National Scenic Trail, you can plan a weekend, a week, or an entire walk across Florida using the logistical details for hikers and backpackers presented in this book. Covering more than 1,400 miles of hiking on the Florida Trail and connected footpaths, The Florida Trail Guide offers you hundreds of starting points for a walk in the woods, Florida-style.

With statewide volunteer efforts coordinated by the Florida Trail Association since 1966, the route of the trail leads you through the most diverse landscapes you'll find along a trail in a single state. From tropical forests in South Florida to the deep ravines and Appalachian-like bluffs of Northwest Florida, hikers enjoy an extraordinary amount of scenery on a trail that is best enjoyed from October through April. The trail passes by and through many small towns and several cities and is within an hour's drive of most of Florida's major cities. Included in this guide are a full map of the trail, 36 regional overview maps, 63 town maps with service details for towns located along or close to the trail, GPS coordinates for several hundred trailheads and trail access points, at-a-glance services icons, section and thru-trail mileage, mileage charts with point-to-point details based on trail landmarks, calculated mileages between designated campsites, post office locations and hours, hotels and campgrounds near the trail, contact information for thousands of services, permit requirements, important precautions, and basics you should know about hiking in Florida.

Synopsis Thousand-Miler by : Melanie Radzicki McManus

In thirty-six thrilling days, Melanie Radzicki McManus hiked 1,100 miles around Wisconsin, landing her in the elite group of Ice Age Trail thru-hikers known as the Thousand-Milers. In prose that’s alternately harrowing and humorous, Thousand-Miler takes you with her through Wisconsin’s forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms, past the geologic wonders carved by long-ago glaciers, and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Follow along as she worries about wildlife encounters, wonders if her injured feet will ever recover, and searches for an elusive fellow hiker known as Papa Bear. Woven throughout her account are details of the history of the still-developing Ice Age Trail—one of just eleven National Scenic Trails—and helpful insight and strategies for undertaking a successful thru-hike. In addition to chronicling McManus’s hike, Thousand-Miler also includes the little-told story of the Ice Age Trail’s first-ever thru-hiker Jim Staudacher, an account of the record-breaking thru-run of ultrarunner Jason Dorgan, the experiences of a young combat veteran who embarked on her thru-hike as a way to ease back into civilian life, and other fascinating tales from the trail. Their collective experiences shed light on the motivations of thru-hikers and the different ways hikers accomplish this impressive feat, providing an entertaining and informative read for outdoors enthusiasts of all levels.
