  • Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine
    Nov 27 2022

    Walk on the bottom of the ocean and explore the Ancient Dunes trail. This lush green forest was once the floor of the ocean, covered by salt water, marine life and sea oats. Thousands of years later, winds, waves, and time have formed what is now the beautiful shell-embossed sand dunes on the beaches of Anastasia and the contrasting lush green forests only steps away.

  • Falling Creek Falls, Lake City
    Nov 8 2022

    Believe it or not, waterfalls do exist in Florida and Falling Creek Falls is your chance to see a 10-foot tea-colored waterfall. That is, if you hike here on a day when the water levels are just right. The Suwanee River feeds this tributary and when the water levels are too high, the waterfall disappears. When the water levels are too low, the fall trickles like a leaky spigot. Either way, Falling Creek is surrounded by a lush green county park and it’s a great place for a picnic. You’ll find easy access to this park only a mile from Interstate-10 as you enter Lake City.
