Florida De Soto Trail
 
The new De Soto Trail will trace De Soto's march northward through Florida and his contact with Native Americans along his route. De Soto National Memorial is cooperating with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Recreation and Parks, the Office of Greenways and Trails (DEP), and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Office to make the revised trail a reality by the 470th anniversary of De Soto's landing in 2009. Check our News area for updates on project progress.
 
A donation of $425,000 will allow De Soto National Memorial to build the Florida De Soto Trail.
