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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
