- Jessica and I are at it again. This time we hike the Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail, a spur trail off the Florida Trail that stretches 61.1 miles between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic Ocean and goes through DuPuis WEA, J.W. Corbett WMA, Riverbend Park and Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

This video was shot on iPhone 7 Plus with Shure MOTIV MV88.
Just was on trail, stopped at the Sunoco, and was very tempted to get a hot dog, banana, and chips. Great vid that inspired my hike. Thanks.
Every one is so smiley!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing Chris. My daughter and I are hiking ocean to lake in 3 weeks. My daughter is leaving for an AT thru hike in early April. We are using this hike to help fine tune equipment, food selections, and pack organization
On my bucket list. Probably this Thanksgiving if Im not in the mountains. Lots of beauty , but lots of crappy road walks and sun. UGH. But the grand finale @ the beach will be worth it.
yaaaaaassssssssssss happy to see you guys getting out there
Glad we did. It was a good time.
Very informative. Thank you. Water sources were good?
That hat is awesome!
Good to see you guys again! Thanks for posting.
Hobe Sound beach! Great beach.
awesome I want to do this hike.
I need to hike that trail soon
Hey Chris, love your videos! I grew up about a mile from the west end of this trail, and I'm really looking forward to hiking it one day. Thanks for sharing!
Really Great video man 🙏✌️
Awesome hike!! Bet it's nice hiking down there this time of year. Good to see another video from you!! And with Jess, too!!
It was really nice. Weather was perfect.
I want to do this trail so bad. I'm too much of a beginner to undertake it yet though, but I can dream! Great video :)
Nice to see you guys back and hiking. The dryness of the Ocean to Lake trail in the video surprised me. I had a surprise similar to that last Friday. I took a short drive to Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area for a day hike. The whole area is really dry. I don't remember ever seeing it this dry in all the years I have been going there.
A camping trip for me is always a grand success when the Owls sound off during the night. Getting a picture of one ( in the video at 15.36 ) You must of had the same experience.
+Chuck Littleton Wow. Tosohatchee was under water when I was there last year. Felt lucky to get that owl on video.
Love JD Park! I bet I've hiked every inch of every trail in it. But it's been a really long time and the OLT trail you hiked didn't even exist back then. Neither did
Riverbend Park.
We used to canoe the Lox from Indian town road to the park and always said along the river would make a great place for a hiking trail, looks like it finally happened.
I solo hiked Corbett once and nearly had a dispute with those wild hogs! LOL
You're in my neck or the woods. Awesome
Chris, we ran into you guys just before, and at, the Loop 4 trail! You guys are FAST! We only made it to Bowman Island on the second day. But we made it up past mile 47 on day three. From there we cut down W. Indiantown Rd to the Atlantic Ocean, completing our hike across Florida; starting in Port Charlotte and ending in Jupiter. I purchased one of those Sawyer Filters as soon as I got back home. Great video!
Here's the video I made, detailing our hike: czcams.com/video/mbuP0Z3C2D0/video.html
Nice job...check this one off the list. :)
What a difference the months make. I hiked it in February with JESSICA and we were in ankle to waist deep water almost the entire way
Jessica told me. What a big difference.
looked like smooth sailing- why no pizza or mexican food?
+Craig Gulley It was getting late, so we grabbed something quick and kept going.
Nice hike,looked very similar to the cypress swamp.AT (Arizona) soon? Thanks for sharing
Starting Arizona Trail next week.
What time of year was this, did not see that info yet?
Nice hike. Thanks for sharing. I'll be in Kissimmee in March, any recommended day hikes?
Hi Chris!! Love your videos! And thanks for providing such great info for a newbie hiker like me! I was just wondering which app (or map) you use for these trails. Thanks so much! Amanda
what animal was that at the beginning, baby black bear, pig?
+Beth Ratkewicz Small wild pig.
Nice...I recently bought a dyneema MLD prophet as I love cuben for shelters in not a fan for packs..how you like that frameless vs arc blast? What part of Fl you live in? I'm outside Jacksonville.
The frameless feels good. Helps that some of my other gear is a little lighter now. I'm in central FL.
Great video! May I ask what program do you use for your trail maps? It seems really precise.
+KodiakCup Thanks. The Florida Trail Guide phone app from Guthook Hikes.
Chris Berry thanks! I'll have to buy it and give it a try.
I bet it was nice not to walk in swamp water. tee hee. Btw how heavy are your packs? I had this weekend off and hiked from Juniper Springs to Hopkins Prairie. Wow many people on the trail too. Hidden pond camp site was full so my dog and I did some stealth camping on the prairie. It was a great day too with temps in the 50's & 60's. My pack weight is 30lbs so I am always looking to make it 20 lbs. I will probably change out my old big agnes scout tent for something less than 3lbs as well as my pack.
Mine was about 14 lbs on this hike (with food and water), Jessica's was about the same.
Nice video. Did you need permit to camp on this trail. Someone or rangers check that?
Chris I’m starting the Florida trail on the east coast with this trail in two weeks
Do you need to pay or reserve for those campsites ? Or just get in get out
Yes, you need permits. This is his answer to the same question that someone else asked "+Matt Rudisail I got the Seminole Indian Reservation, St. Marks NWR and Eglin AFB permits ahead of time. I applied for and received the SWFMD camping permits online with my phone the day before I arrived. Thanks for watching.

The first link is for information on the permits you need, the people you need to contact and their contact information.
The second link is for info on the OTL trail and maps.

Another great trip....I see you changed packs...is that one of John Z's?
That's right. It's the 40L version.
Chris Berry nice pack...I thought it was a Pa'lante!
Are you sporting a Palante Pack on this hike? If so, I am soo jealous! Been trying to get me one. Currently hiking with an MLD Exodus. Definitely loving the framless light packs! If that is a Palante Pack, how do you like it?
+Martin Davis That's right. It's the 40L version. I like it a lot. Glad I got it.
I have followed your AT hike and your Florida Trail hike and was wondering what sort of permits your needed during your Florida Trail hike. I have looked at a website for the FT and am kinda confused....
+Matt Rudisail I got the Seminole Indian Reservation, St. Marks NWR and Eglin AFB permits ahead of time. I applied for and received the SWFMD camping permits online with my phone the day before I arrived. Thanks for watching.
What type of shoes does Jessica have? Great walk
+Betty Sweet Altra Lone Peak 2.5.
Forgot to ask how were the skeeters and ticks?
No ticks. Mosquitoes weren't too bad. Only came around after sundown.
Thx...was debating on doing this trip or ONF section with my duomid without net...sounds like I better grab a net...
hi what camera you use? thanks
iPhone 7 Plus.
thank you !:)
Between this video and a couple from Jupiter, I don’t even need to do it. Just kidding. Do you have your lighterpack to link for this? Thanks for the video!!
1:50 what is that? a bear cub? :)
+Ruben Garcia Young wild pig.
My gosh!!! Lol thank you for sharing, I see the love for nature on all your Vid's
