Companion Guide
Published by the Florida Trail Association and designed and edited by yours truly, this guidebook is for serious backpackers planning their logistics for a hike of a week or more. Contains trail town maps, information on resupply, suggested camping spots beyond the designated campsites, and more. The third edition of this essential guidebook for long distance hikers contains the most current Florida Trail information, including notes on water sources, undesignated campsites, resupply options, and trail town details with a post office listing and phone numbers for accommodations and transportation resources. There are mileage charts for each region and section of the trail, making it easier to pre-plan your long distance hike, be it a week-long trip or a full-blown thru-hike. Trail town maps are included for all major towns within ten miles of the trail. As the trail changes, updates to this guidebook are posted on the Florida Trail website.  

ALL proceeds from the sale of the book go directly to supporting the Florida Trail.
