Welcome to the Friday Waypoint where you'll find the latest updates about opportunities & activities with the Florida Trail Association.

If you’ve completed the Florida Trail and would like to receive a certificate of completion and be listed on our hiker roster, follow the directions on our website.

Each year following hiking season, we will be publishing the hiker roster in our Footprint magazine and online to celebrate Florida Trail hikers.

One week left to submit photos to the Florida Trail photo contest!

The FTA is accepting submissions of digital images for the Official Calendar of the Florida Trail Association until March 15, 2023.

The photo should show the Florida Trail or a view from the Florida Trail. Visible blazes are a bonus! If people are visible in the photo they should be candid (posed shots cannot be considered). Close-ups of flowers and insects that do not say “Florida Trail!” will be admired but not selected.

Winners of this contest will be notified by early April. They will be featured in the Official Calendar of the Florida Trail Association, and will also receive 3 copies of the calendar and a framed photo of their winning submission!
