Welcome to our Meetup Group

for Hikers in the Central Panhandle!

The purpose of this meetup group is to introduce you to the Florida Trail, the Panhandle Chapter of the Florida Trail Association (FTA), and our informative Chapter meetings and exciting outdoor activities.  Outdoor enthusiasts of the central Florida panhandle area who like to hike, camp, and paddle, or who are interested in building and maintaining hiking trails are invited to join this meetup group and to also consider membership in the FTA.

The FTA Panhandle Chapter hosts monthly meetings featuring nature programs, and monthly outdoor activities of interest to all ages.  The Chapter is responsible for maintaining the part of the Florida National Scenic Trail that passes through Blountstown, Pine Log State Forest, and along Econfina Creek.  The FTA Panhandle Chapter covers Bay, Holmes, Washington, Jackson, Gulf, and Calhoun Counties.

Please consider becoming a member of the Florida Trail Association!  

Membership in this meetup group is free, and it is not the same as membership in the FTA.  FTA membership requires a small annual fee, but it is well worth the modest cost.  To become a full member of the Florida Trail Association (and its Panhandle Chapter), please visit the FTA website:   www.floridatrail.org   Some of the many benefits of FTA membership include free training (such as training and certification in First Aid/CPR and chainsaw operation, and GPS classes), the quarterly FTA state-wide publication Footprint , the monthly Panhandle Chapter newsletter Panhandle News , and an invitation to participate in all FTA activities, some of which are limited to FTA members only.
