The Yearling Trail is a gem of the Ocala National Forest and one of the sweetest hikes you’ll ever take. With every step, you’ll feel the ghosts of the Pioneers whisper past like an ever-present breeze through the tall pines. Read Marge Rawlings’ Pulitzer Prize winning novel, ‘The Yearling’ before you go and you may never be the same again.

Special thanks to my friends Pat Surface, Eli Bissonett, Mary LaPlant and the Spiritwoods Music Northwoods Ensemble for ‘Legends of the Fall’ and ‘Serenity’ from their cd ‘Cabin Serenity.’Always a pleasure to share the path with you.
