Panhandle Chapter

The Panhandle Chapter of the Florida Trail Association serves the heartland of Florida's Panhandle: from Marianna and Blountstown to St. Joe, across to Mexico Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Panama City; and up through Ebro, Bruce, and Ponce de Leon. This region has several spectacular protected sections of our statewide National Scenic Trail, including along Econfina Creek and in Pine Log State Forest.

Our members build and maintain these hiking trails, but we also get together to lead guided hikes and paddling trips, to go camping, and in monthly meetings that highlight the beauty of natural Florida. Come join us!
