Ichetucknee Springs State Park
Andrew and I were on a State Parking weekend when we came across a sign for Ichetucknee Springs State Park on our way to Troy Springs. We followed the signs to the park and we were led to the south entrance. Typically this is where all the tubing action takes place...
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
I was in search of Hugh Taylor Birch State Park and I was unsure if I was on the right path. I followed my GPS right into Ft. Lauderdale, people were every where. I could not imagine a state park being anywhere near where I was. Then all of a sudden I saw a sign and...
Honeymoon Island State Park
Honeymoon Island State Park is the most visited of all of the state parks. I did think it was a very beautiful park but I would not consider it to be my favorite one so far. It has great appeal to it - crystal clear water, soft sandy beach, fun rocks to frolic on that...
Henderson Beach State Park
It was a pretty cold afternoon and a very blustery day. I wasn't sure I even wanted to get out of the when I arrived at Henderson Beach State Park but I am sure glad I did. In fact it took me a long time to exit the car because I really hate being in the cold but I...
Grayton Beach State Park
I arrived at Grayton Beach State Park as soon as the park opened. It was Memorial Day weekend and I knew the place was going to fill up quickly so I wanted to get there before the crowd. There is something very magical about being at the parks when they first open....
George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park
George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park was a very neat sight to see. As Uncle Barry and I drove over the bridge to get to Amelia Island State Park we could see many people spread out along the mile long pier. There were people fishing, lounging, and walking...
Gasparilla Island State Park
When I first got to Gasparilla Island I was greeted with a toll booth. Once I paid the $6 toll I was free to roam the island. When I arrived the sun was just starting to set which meant my time was limited. I followed the road straight back, passing a cool looking...
Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park
Upon entering Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park I was greeted by a very handsome & friendly park ranger that gave me helpful tips about the park. Thankfully the rain took a break for a while and I was able to walk around the bayou and lake and admire its calm...
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
Key West is my very favorite place in Florida. Every time I go there my heart smiles. I have visited Key West many times but I had no idea there was a fort there. I was excited to see where it was in relation to the area I was familiar with. As soon as I got into town...
Fort Pierce Inlet State Park
Fort Pierce Inlet State Park was amazing right off the bat. As soon as I drove up I knew I was going to have a great time. The ranger was super sweet and stamped my passport. She took the time to tell me about the two sides on the park - right was the inlet and left...
Fort Moses Historic State Park
When Brian and I arrived at Fort Moses Historic State Park, we were drawn to the first thing we could see, the boardwalk. I walked cautiously down the boardwalk towards the water because there were a ton of birds just hanging out. Brian and I stood at the end of the...
Fort Clinch State Park
Uncle Barry and I were looking forward to seeing Fort Clinch State Park because we heard it was very popular and we wanted to know why. When we arrived we parked the car and headed for the gift shop. We looked around for a while and the went out to the fort. We did...
