Trails in Florida
There are 4 National Park Service units that include territory in Florida. The directory below links to every park guide we maintain for the state. For multi-state parks, you'll see the same entry on each state's page — the trail catalog itself is identical.
Trip planning from Florida typically means balancing drive time against trail effort. A weekend out of state can be more efficient than a one-day push to a closer unit if it means daylight on the actual trail rather than behind the wheel. Use the per-park guides to compare difficulty and seasonality before locking in dates.
Biscayne National Park
Largely marine park protecting clear shallow waters, mangrove shoreline, the northernmost Florida Keys, and the offshore living coral reef.
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
Oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S., guarding the harbor of St. Augustine since 1695.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Remote cluster of seven small islands 70 miles west of Key West, protecting the historic Civil-War-era Fort Jefferson and surrounding coral reefs.
Everglades National Park
River of grass — the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, sheltering manatees, alligators, and dozens of threatened species.
