HW Guided Hikes - Hontoon Island State Park 5 km or 10 km

Join the Happy Wanderers as we visit Hontoon Island State Park - a unique "hidden gem" location on the St. John's River that once served as a settlement for Timucuan Indians.

**NOTE: Event will be weather dependent, it's hurricane season and prolonged rains in the weeks prior may make the trail muddy or certain portions not accessible. Look for updates before the event!

Plan to arrive at the ferry parking area BETWEEN 8:30 -- 9:00 AM, to que for the ferry ride, and then we'll assemble on the island in the area in front of the Ranger Station / Store. Registration for the permanently-signed "FVA" 5km or 10km trails will start around 9:15 AM with a group walk as soon as everyone gets across and ready.

These walks are offered for AVA/IVV credit and rated 1C - flat & easy. The trails are gravel, dirt or grassy, and can be muddy in some places depending on recent weather - so we recommend you wear good sneakers, trail shoes or hiking boots. Carry drinking water and consider sunscreen and bug spray.

Event cost is $4.00 for all walkers, except children 12 and under. Leashed pets are permitted.
