Getting To and From the Trail
There are several access points along the trail. These points include the parking lot at Hobe Sound Beach, Highway US 1 at NE corner of Jonathan Dickinson State Park, several points inside Jonathan Dickinson (these require hiking on other trails to connect with the OTLHT), the parking lot at River Bend Park, the crossing with Beeline highway near Palm Beach County airport, the south entrance to Corbett Wildlife Management Area on Pratt Whitney Road, and the LOST trailhead at Lake Okeechobee. The Florida Trail Association recommends none of these access points for overnight parking, including the east and west termini.[1]
For an eastbound thruhike beginning at Lake Okeechobee, The LOST/NENA Trailhead is on US 441/98 about 10 miles north of Pahokee, Florida, and about 50 miles from downtown West Palm Beach. As overnight parking is not recommended and rideshare options are limited or impossible in rural western Palm Beach County, arranging for someone to drop hikers off is the easiest option.
For a westbound thruhike beginning at Hobe Sound Beach, the parking area is 1.5 miles east of Hobe Sound on Bridge Road, and about 11 miles north of Jupiter, Florida. As overnight parking is not allowed in the beach parking lot, arranging for someone to drop hikers off is the easiest option. Rideshare services may be a viable option at this terminus.
