[...] I’ll be up along the Suwannee River this Friday for a special celebration honoring one of my favorite Florida places, the town of White Springs. They were the first to sign on as a Florida Trail Gateway Community, and what better a community to be a gateway to hiking! Okay, okay, there are others. BUT … the Florida Trail runs right through the middle of White Springs, and there are plenty of other trail options nearby, from several trails within Big Shoals State Park to the always-fun Disappearing Creek Loop at Camp Branch Conservation Area, the Swift Creek and Gar Pond Conservation Areas (singletrack, yes, but excellent hiking if you go when there are few bikers), the waterfall at Falling Creek Falls, and the entire Osceola National Forest just a half hour away. Not to mention hikes in Lake City! When I canvassed this region for 50 Hikes in North Florida, I spent a whole week at it. C’mon up to White Springs on Friday and enjoy a guided hike on the Florida Trail at Stephen Foster State Park. See you there! [...]
