LABELLE, FL. -- Here�s your opportunity to explore beautiful landscapes of Florida and meet fellow nature lovers. The formation of a Florida Trails Association inland sub-chapter is in its early stages and wants interested people to join.

The group will meet at 10 a.m. February 6 with FTA members guiding a casual hike on the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail, a segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail.
