Hiking Little Talbot Island and JASMYN Food & Hygiene Drive

Bring your food and hygiene donations for JASMYN and I will collect all items after the hike. Please see the list of food & hygiene items needed in the photo section of this event page.

This hike is an Outdoorsy group favorite, one of the best hikes in the NE Florida area! NO DOGS are allowed on the beach portion of this hike, leave the dogs home for this event. With more than five miles of beautiful, white sandy beaches, Little Talbot Island is one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands in Northeast Florida. Maritime forests, desert-like dunes and undisturbed salt marshes on the western side of the island allow for hours of nature study and relaxation. The diverse habitats in the park host a wealth of wildlife for viewing, including river otters, marsh rabbits, bobcats and a variety of native and migratory birds.

Once we arrive at the park, parking is $5 per vehicle and then we will make our way to the Dune Ridge Trail, which winds 4 miles through five distinct natural communities.
