What we’re about
Tropical Trekkers is a chapter of the Florida Trail Association (FTA) responsible for maintaining the Florida National Scenic Trail form the North end of Lake Okeechobee to the north end of Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.
We use this meetup group to advertise the FTA to the public by listing the activities that our volunteer leaders offer. You’ll find many activities that are listed as “FTA members only”. To participate in these activities, you must become a member of the FTA. Here’s the link: https://florida-trail-association.givecloud.co/join
