FTS Explorers

Florida Trail Stompers started out as an off-roading club. In November of 2020, we decided to add an extension to Florida Trail Stompers and call it,

 FTS Explorers. Today, we are an organization providing adventure for all levels of Members.

If you are an outdoor enthusiast and love and respect the outdoors, join the FTS Explorers. We venture out into the great outdoors and participate in many different types of recreational sports ranging from mountain biking to scuba diving. We also travel off the regular roads in Florida to explore the historic and scenic back roads of Florida with our Back Road Stompin'  and Florida Adventure (F.A.T.) Events.

It is highly encouraged to join our Facebook page to become an official member to have a more personal experience with other FTS members.

If you are interested in obtaining any official FTS Explorers apparel or decals, please visit the FTS Trail Shop.
