From the
coastal bluffs of the Panhandle to the wild Everglades, Backpacking Florida features
40 overnight trail adventures covering a total of 600 miles across the state.
Expert outdoorsman Johnny Molloy provides readers with the tools and
information they need to unplug and experience Florida’s amazing variety of
ecosystems up close.
Destinations in this guide range
from well-known, "must-do" spots like Juniper Prairie Wilderness, Rice Creek Conservation
Area, and the Blackwater River State Forest to undiscovered gems like Jennings
State Forest, Ocklawaha Prairie Restoration Area, and Bonnet Pond. Trails are
categorized by region, difficulty, and length, from 3-mile family treks to
50-mile larger-than-life excursions, resulting in a useful guide for both
novice and experienced backpackers.
For every trail, Molloy
includes a map and mileage chart and explains how to get to the trailhead,
where the campsites are, and what hikers will see along the way. Readers will
also find helpful advice on topics such as selecting a campsite and food for
the trail. Backpacking Florida is an invaluable resource for planning
and enjoying the perfect Florida outdoor adventure.
