    Hiking

    The foundation for the 1,000-mile Florida Trail was laid back in 1966. Jim Kern, a Florida resident set out to build a similar trail through Florida with his brother after hiking the Appalachian Trail. The first sections were built here in the Ocala National Forest. It took 17 years for the Florida Trail to finally join the ranks of the eleven National Scenic Trails.
