Ocean To Lake Trail 2019

The annual Ocean To Lake Trail section hike hosted by the Florida Trail Association - Loxahatchee chapter. Six days of hiking through some premier South Florida wilderness areas. The trail runs for approximately 63 miles, west from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee where it ends at the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) trailhead, which is approximately two and a half miles south of Port Mayaca. The trail starts at the ocean, entering Jonathan Dickinson State Park at US 1, traveling through the park, Palm Beach County Natural Areas, Corbett Wildlife Management Area and Dupuis Management Area, and ends at the lake. The ecosystems on this beautiful trail change approximately every mile, from ancient sand dunes with scrub oak and sand pine to pine flat woods, palmetto and oak hammocks, cypress swamp and wet prairies. The temperature during this years hike topped 85 degrees with very high humidity. about 15-20 miles of this years hike was under water; average depth was ankle to knee deep!
Filmed with a Gopro Hero 7 and Panasonic Lumix LX10.

Awesome job on the video. This is probably the best and most informative video I've seen on KZbin regarding the OTL trail. I'll be out there in December.

How many days hiking? How was the group formed?

This hike is hosted by the Loxahatchee chapter of the Florida Trail Association, they also do all the maintenance on the trail. A relatively fast hiker can do it in 3 days, most do it in 4-5 days.
