CELEBRATE NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY
FANNING SPRINGS STATE PARK
September 27, 2025
Celebrate National Public Lands day at Fanning Springs State Park on September 27, 2025 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. There will also be an opportunity to make sustainable beeswax wraps afterwards (while supplies last).
Afterwards, feel free to use one of our litter buckets and pickers found hanging on our "litter trees" located in the playground area to help keep the park beautiful!
