For starters take a look at the "Florida Backpacker's Trailplace" at
http://www.iag.net/~fbt/

Also, there is now a FT mailing list at ft-l@backcountry.net

Also check out these sites:
Wild Florida Online at http://www.wildflorida.com/
Florida Trail Association at http://www.atlantic.net/~fta/
Travel Country Outdoors at http://www.travelcountry.com/

Have Fun,
