Hiking in Central Florida's Polk County

While hiking the trails of Polk County's 30+ parks, you may spot one of over 50 species of endangered, threatened or rare animals. Trek Ten Trails was created to get people back into exploring nature with guided tours.
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 others can be found off the beaten path.
