Outdoor Florida is your source for finding recreational opportunities on Florida’s publicly accessible conservation lands.

The app also allows you to subscribe to notifications for park events. From camping, to boating, to hiking and biking, there are opportunities around every corner. Outdoor Florida is available online at OutdoorFlorida.org and for your Android or Apple device.

Outdoor Florida can help you find:

  • Beaches and swimming pools
  • Boating, fishing and hunting opportunities
  • Sports fields, courses and courts
  • Educational and historical sites
  • Camping and amenities
  • Bicycling, hiking, multi-use, OHV and equestrian trails

Outdoor Florida was created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to increase awareness of recreational opportunities available to the public on Florida’s conservation lands.

Since the mid-1970s, DEP’s Florida Park Service has been collecting, storing and using outdoor recreational data from various sources throughout the state to assist with the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). The Florida Outdoor Recreation Inventory (FORI) database provides helpful information about the location, number and type of recreational opportunities available to you.

The activities you see in Outdoor Florida are those maintained in the FORI database. Recreation sites may have additional activities that are not listed here. Please see the Outdoor Florida FAQ page for additional information.
