Florida Hiking Clubs
By Sandra Downs

For valuable insider information on hiking in Florida, don't forget the local clubs. The Florida Trail Association's Central Florida Chapter meets the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at Leu Gardens. Besides informative presentations, the club sponsors dozens of hikes and backpacking trips led by competent outdoors enthusiasts. Wilderness Trekkers, a hiking club affiliated with the American Hiking Society, holds group hikes, backpacking trips, and sporadic meetings. The Sierra Club of Central Florida brings together conservation-minded folks for outdoors activities; their meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Leu Gardens.
