 Big Cypress Preserve
Back Country Permit

 

 


The Florida National Scenic Trail (FNST)

celebrates its 30th Anniversary during 2013.
Designated by Congress as a National Scenic Trail in 1983,
the FNST now spans over 1,000 miles from Big Cypress National Preserve to Gulf Islands National Seashore.

 

The Big Cypress Preserve is home to nearly 40 miles of FNST, portions of which offer some of the most remote trails in Florida.
For more information on the FNST and its management please visit the USFS's website at www.fs.usda.gov/fnst and to learn more about hiking and volunteering opportunities on the FNST visit the FTA's website at www.floridatrail.org.
