About the Florida Trailwalker Program:
Earn a badge and become a Trail Walker by hiking in Florida's State Forests and share your stories and photos of your adventures with us. If you are just getting stared, it is easy! Here are the rules:

1. Hike a total of 10 trails from the Trail List (http://www.fl-dof.com/forest_recreation/twalker_trails.html) in at least 5 different Florida State Forests. Pick up a pre-paid postal survey card for that trail at each trailhead. Fill it out and mail it in after the hike is completed.

2. Log your hikes on the Trailwalker Log (http://www.fl-dof.com/forest_recreation/trailwalker_index.html) to record your progress. As you send in your survey cards, the State Forest will send you a sticker for that hike. Affix the sticker next to your log entry.

3. After you have hiked 10 trails in 5 different Forrests, send the completed Trailwalker log to recieve a Trailwalker patch.

Trailblazer
If you walk another ten trails in an additional five or more state forests, you will achieve the next level: Trailblazer. For your accomplishment, you get a new patch and certificate.

Trailmaster
If you walk thirty (30) trails from the Trail List, you will achieve the third and final level: Trailmaster. For this accomplishment, you will receive one last patch and certificate.
