I'm going to take my oldest daughter (11) hiking in a couple weeks. We want to hike most of Saturday, camp and hike back Sunday. Does anyone know any good trails for that within a couple hour drive of Jacksonville?

Ocala National Forest, the Florida National Scenic Trail. Go to www.floridatrail.org.

I just moved to the Mirarmar area and would like to find some nice trails in this area, so far I've been to a few parks where you walk in circles or near a highway. Do any groups hike in this area regularly?

Go onto www.floridatrail.org and onto Florida Hikes. Two excellent websites for hiking trails. There are many Meetup groups around the State dedicated to hiking and outdoor activities.
