    Default Best section to do 350-450 miles with hammock?

    I'd like to hike for more or less than a month on the florida trail with my hammock at the end of December. I've heard some sections aren't hammock friendly.

    Can any one can recommend their favorite 350-450 mile hammock friendly section?

    Thanks

    Now that we have the state parks on board with hammocks, you shouldn't have any problems hiking the Florida Trail with a hammock, plenty of trees on both corridors. You might have to be a bit less choosey around Lake Okeechobee, but there are plenty of sites there as well. What sections did you hear that weren't hammock friendly?

    I was unaware there were issues with hammocks. I'm betting most thru-hikers aren't aware of this.

    I think the best sections would be Ocala and northward & lots of great stuff in the Panhandle that no one ever talks about. St. Marks, Apalachichola, the entire Suwannee.
