Welcome to the Friday Waypoint where you'll find the latest updates about opportunities & activities with the Florida Trail Association.
Florida Trail Art Contest
The Florida Trail community has so many talented photographers and artists, we want to give folks another chance to share their work!

Help us create a postcard for each of our 16 Gateway Communities and submit an image from your favorite Gateway Community or the Trail surrounding it (a landmark, a community event, landscape, wildlife, candid photos of people). Selfies and close up images of plants and animals will be admired but not selected. The contest is open to photos as well as digital art and scans of drawings, paintings, or other visual art forms.

Be sure to tell us which Gateway Community your image represents! Applications are open until August 18, 2023. Winners of the contest will be notified by early September and will receive 3 16-postcard sets and a framed photo of their winning submission.

For contest details and to submit an artwork, visit the link below.

Special Edition Footprint - Available Now!
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of our designation as a National Scenic Trail, we’ve collaborated with the Florida Trail community to bring you this special edition of the Footprint. Members should have received the magazine already, but we’re offering it for sale in our online shop as well. 

Inside you’ll find vibrant stories from the pioneers of the Florida Trail, a look into the rich history of the Trail, and lots of great photos. Each magazine includes an 11x14 poster of the Florida Trail created by Grant Updegrove.
We hope you enjoy the magazine and that it will inspire you to help us continue this great project.
