20 Mile Hike Clearwater Lake to Alexander Springs via Florida Trail

This 10.6-mile point-to-point trail near Astor, Florida. Generally considered a moderately challenging route...We are doing an out and back for 21.2 total miles...Anyone who want to join for less than 10, can turn around at any point.

This trail is well-maintained and offers three bridge crossings, scenic viewpoints, and gradual incline changes. The area around Alexander Springs has many beautiful and densely forested regions. The trail passes through various habitats and you can easily spot abundant wildlife along the way.

I recommend comfortable walking/hiking shoes, Deep Woods bug spray, sunscreen, fluids for hydration, snacks/food, and your spirit of adventure and fellowship, but we do live by the creed "Hike Your Way"...Be ready to get fresh air, exercise, engage in diverse conversations, and make some new Connections!!
