There are all sorts of places to go winter hiking in Florida! The weather during the wintertime never gets too chilly, which means you can be outside all year long. Try these hikes:

  • Seminole Ranch in Christmas boasts the sprawling Florida trail, great for wildlife spotting and wandering.
  • Head to the St. Marks National Refuge to wander more than 43 miles of shoreline.
  • Head to the Kissimmee Prairie in Okeechobee to indulge in a hike that will take you through the grasslands of the state.

 

What are the best parks to visit in the winter in Florida?

  • We'd highly recommend heading out to the Everglades National Park during the wintertime. Since it's hot throughout the rest of the year, the best time to experience this quirky tropical expanse is definitely during the winter.
  • Long Key State Park is also fantastic for both visiting and camping during the winter.
  • We'd highly recommend Curry Hammock State Park for building sandcastles through the holidays.
