If you’ve been through Polk County, FL (just outside of Orlando), you know there’s not a whole lot to do there. This weekend, the Trek Ten Trails program, developed by the Friends of the Parks foundation, hopes to change that. Polk county has over 125 hiking trails, and many of those will be used this weekend to encourage residents and visitors to experience the outdoors.
The Fort Fraser Trail will be featured in the first of 10 organized treks through next September in the innovative program that features hiking, exploring, and geocaching. We’ve covered geocaching on this site before, and it seems like it’s really gaining popularity. The organizers are hope that geocaching will encourage children and those who are savvy about technology to visit Polk’s paved and unpaved walking trails.
More more details on the event, visit the Orlando Sentinel, or contact the coordinator, Amy L. Edwards, at aledwards@orlandosentinel.com or 407-931-5946.
