Hiking

Trek Ten Trails year long program - click for more

While hiking the trails of Polk County's 30+ parks, you may spot one of over 50 species of endangered, threatened or rare animals.

There's much to discover as you trek through pine and cypress forest, alongside swampy areas and riverbanks and out onto open prairies. Many trailheads originate in amenity-rich parks, while others can be found off the beaten path.
