OutKick OutDoors Picks 5 Tallahassee Hiking Trails for Florida State Week Zero Fans

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 24

Summary

  • OutKick OutDoors highlighted five Tallahassee-area hikes for fans traveling to the Week Zero matchup between Florida State and New Mexico State.
  • Lake Overstreet at Alfred B. Maclay Gardens led the list with about 5 miles of trails around a 144-acre lake, while Miccosukee Canopy Road Greenway was pitched as an easier walk.
  • Lafayette Heritage Trail Park and Munson Hills were framed as more adventurous options, with Lafayette also appealing to mountain bikers and Munson Hills offering a rougher route near Apalachicola National Forest.
  • Lake Jackson Mounds State Park rounded out the recommendations with a 0.75-mile interpretive trail and a 2.2-mile nature trail, though the boardwalk to the large mound remains closed.
  • The guide warned visitors that late-August heat and Florida humidity can make game-week hikes risky without extra water and careful planning.
