Spring Hammock Preserve has a new boardwalk that extends to Lake Jesup. It’s a nice way to reconnect in nature!










Welcome to the Ken Bosserman Econlockhatchee River Preserve, Orlando’s newest nature preserve! It’s located in northeast Orlando on Lake Pickett Road and features a 1.2-mile trail that leads to a view of the scenic Econ River. Don’t miss it!

Nestled in historic downtown Fernandina Beach, the Palace Saloon is considered Florida’s oldest bar (1903). Stop in for a cold brew, great live music, amazing decor and super friendly bartenders. Try the Pirates Punch!







Do you want a good chance to view wild horses (and bison!)? Just visit Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park in Micanopy, just outside Gainesville! What a sight!







I arrived early at Black Bear Wilderness Area in Sanford and noticed these deer casually grazing right near the parking lot. What a treat!
