Celebrate National Public Lands Day at Fanning Springs State Park on September 26, 2026, with a guided hike on our Palmetto Hiking Trail from 9:00—10:00 AM. We will meet spring side near the concession building. The Palmetto Hiking Trail is an easy, 0.75-mile, unpaved hiking trail which travels through upland mixed hardwood and pine forest with many trees over 60 feet tall!

There will also be a Ranger-led interpretive program “Litter Lingers!” which will be from 10:30—11:00 AM located spring side next to the concession building. This event will demonstrate how litter impacts our public lands and what sustainable swaps can be used to reduce litter.
