Evening Hike at Fort George Island Cultural State Park
Details
🌅 Evening Hiking Series #1 – Fort George Island (3.3 Miles)
Join us for the first event in our Evening Hiking Series at the beautiful Ribault Club. This relaxed 3.3-mile hike is designed to help you unwind after the week while enjoying one of Jacksonville’s most scenic historic landscapes.
The trail offers a little bit of everything—river views, gentle hills, lush maritime forest, and the unique experience of walking across portions of a former golf course that has naturally rewilded over time.
### 🥾 What to Expect
This will be a leisurely-paced hike, perfect for enjoying nature and the peaceful evening setting. We are encouraging this to be more of a quiet hike so participants can relax, decompress from the week, and increase our chances of spotting local wildlife along the trail.

- Walking poles (optional but helpful for some hikers)
