The Indian River Chapter of the Florida Trail Association is responsible for
creating and maintaining trails in the East Central Florida area. We are
one of several chapters of the Florida Trail Association located around the
state each responsible for trails in their area. We usually hold monthly
meetings in the Public Library in Melbourne on Fee Street on the first
Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM but a couple of times a year we decide
we have had enough meetings and have a picnic instead, by demand of the
membership.
In addition to our trail building we also hold scheduled hikes on trails in
our area and sometimes beyond, nothing formal but whatever seems to present
itself. The hikes we do do are scheduled in advance and open to the public
except when they are on private property and depending on the landowner
If you want to participate in one of the hikes it is suggested that you call
the hike leader as listed in the schedule and confirm that the hike will be
held as scheduled. Sometimes, because of factors such as weather and high
water levels, some hikes may be rescheduled for other areas or delayed to a
later date. See the links below for schedules of upcoming hikes.
