Evening Hiking Series - Hanna Park
Details
🥾 Evening Hiking Series #2 – Hanna Park with the North FL Trailblazers 🌅
Join the North FL Trailblazers for the second hike in our Evening Hiking Series at beautiful Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park! This relaxed evening hike is a great way to enjoy nature, decompress from the week, and explore one of Jacksonville’s favorite coastal parks.
### 🌲 About the Hike
We’ll be hiking approximately 3–4 miles through the shaded trails of Hanna Park. Depending on weather and group interest, we may add an optional extra mile along the beach, offering beautiful ocean views. Keep in mind that the beach section will be fully exposed to the sun, while most of the trail portion is nicely shaded.
For this hike, we are encouraging a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere on the trail. While light conversation is always welcome, we hope to keep noise to a minimum so everyone can unwind from the week, enjoy the sounds of nature, and increase our chances of spotting local wildlife along the trail.
### 🎒 What to Bring
Please come prepared for a comfortable and safe hike:
- Water (required)
- Sturdy hiking shoes
- Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
- Bug spray if you prefer
### ⚠️ Event Guidelines
- Participants must be 17 years or older
- Please leave dogs at home for this hike
- Pace will be relaxed and welcoming for social hiking
### 🩺 Safety Request
Please create a personal emergency medical card and keep it in an easily accessible place in your pocket or pack during the hike. This helps hike leaders and emergency responders quickly access important medical information if needed.
🚗 Park Entrance Fee
There is a $5 per vehicle entrance fee, which covers up to 6 people per car. Please plan accordingly.
