Explorer's Guide 50 Hikes in Central Florida ()

Florida’s landscape is a marvel of diversity, and Central Florida is its pinnacle. Footpaths range through

salt marshes, river floodplains, and along coastal

dunes and beaches. Trails pass through desert-like

scrub islands, jungle-like hydric hammocks, and

deep, dark bayous. There’s no better way to take in

this natural world than by walking it.

Ranging from 1 to 43 miles in length, each hike

includes mile-by-mile directions, a topographic map,

and information on hike duration, mileage, and trail

conditions. This new edition includes 20 new places

to explore, from hidden urban gems like the Circle

Bar B Ranch in Lakeland and Ponce Preserve in Daytona Beach to the quiet rural landscapes of Catfish

Creek State Park and Chinsegut Hill. Old standards

like Tenoroc, Disney Wilderness Preserve, and Silver

River State Park have been revisited and updated to

keep you informed of changes in their trail systems.
