The Hiking Trails of Florida's National Forests, Parks, and Preserves

This book, although not real new, is a gem packed with information about the beautiful Florida. Florida is blessed with four National Forests, an entire Florida Trail, so many parks and preserves. This outstanding book covers them all. An easy read, full of information and absolutely a great addition to our library. CV Chidlow

The Hiking Trails of Florida's National Forests, Parks, and Preserves

Good book with plenty of trail descriptions for the areas referred to in the title. Doesn't have any maps which is a downside, doesn't go over potential campsites very thoroughly either. All in all a good book. but you'll have to get Florida Trail maps to get a good feel for the hikes in here.

Great Guide

I thought the big Cypress Preserve was a wasteland until I bought this book. After hiking the Florida Trail through here I realize way they call it a preserve. The trip was challenging but Molloy's book helped immensely, especially with campsites.I'm now headed to the Apalachicola National Forest for a week long hike before summer hits. The clear trailhead directions in this book will make it easy to get started. Wish me luck.Jen Dyer- Miami, FL
