Venture Outdoors

Tour operator

👍👍 We, a family of seven, booked the kayak manatee trip with Astrid. Her friendliness and knowledge made the experience exceptional. We enjoyed a 2-hour paddle on the river, followed by a delightful picnic lunch. The scenic views were breathtaking, and we were fortunate to spot manatees, various birds,...

Bonnet Springs Park

Park

👍👍 Beautiful park! Free parking, stroll friendly walk and restrooms along the way. I love taking our children here to explore and socialize.

Santos Trails

Park

👍👍 These trails are very well kept and the people have been polite. This was my first run here and you should probably have a little experience. Some of the trails have some obstacles that may be tough for beginners, but not impossible. Would recommend. There is an air pump station, tools, and a bike w...

Graham Swamp East Trailhead MTB

Park

👍👍 One of the most challenging trails in all of Florida, it's a 7 mile loop but it has a mix of everything. Punchy climbs, fast descents (for Florida), gnarly sections, drops and jumps. A must visit if you are in the area, and have the skills/cardio to tackle it.. This is NOT for beginners, do not atte...

Hobe Sound Nature Center

Nature preserve

👍👍 My father and I anchored up for the night here, arriving mid-afternoon as we head into the final leg of my journey with him down the intracoastal waterway. I enjoyed a swim to the beach from the boat and he and the dog used the tender to reach the beach. It was low tide and the depth of water was ab...

Brooker Creek Preserve & Environmental Education Center

Nature preserve

👍 There is plenty of parking, with a public bathroom, benches, trails, and the location of local educational centers. A fantastic park with a plethora of wildlife. We go to this park often as it is at the end of a nice trail that starts on a small road. This park is home to a number of school-based l...

Linear park along a former railway line, with a 14.5-mi. paved trail for walking & cycling.

La Chua Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 500 alligators. Up to 20 feet long. There were so many lining the lake shore I thought they were sediment control black tires at first. We were safe on the elevated walkway. Creepy signs warning us to be outta there by dark (when they eat) and for good reason. I will never forget this place. If I ha...

Black Bear Wilderness Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 It's a great state park in Sanford. Free! Dog friendly! A 7.1 mile loop with 2 trail heads that loop. I saw 5 alligators today along with a family of bores. Narrow winding, single track trail with lots of tree roots and uneven paths to step over with lots of boardwalks.

Lido Key Beach, Sarasota FL

Public beach

👍👍 It's so beautiful here, I loved seeing all the baby seagulls this time, they're so cute. Beautiful sunsets here and close to St Armands circle for shopping and dining. Also lots of room for parking. Parking is free right now, they're estimating the meter won't be working till early February.

Trout Lake Nature Center

Nature preserve

👍👍 Visited here for the first time over spring break. First and foremost- it's free! I really enjoyed the walking trails. There were plank/boardwalk sections on the trail over areas that are wet/flooded. It had just rained the day before, so these areas were completely wet and made for some beautiful s...

Florida Trail Withlacoochee State Trail - Ridge Manor Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Great trail. Lots of diverse scenery. Bathrooms, water fountains, picnic tables, etc.... Dunnellon Trail at the north end is a nice addition, as well as the Good Neighbor trail towards the south end. Approx 60 miles between the three. Difficulty depends on you.

Oakland Nature Preserve

👍👍 Really nice natural trails and park. There is a great mix of both dirt and boardwalk trails. The beautiful boardwalk path leads to a nice lakeside dock at Lake Apopka. The views are spectacular! Very cool and informative exhibit center/museum. Everything is free! Can’t beat that! As with any other n...

Whether you visit in the AM, Midday or at dusk, you'll find its a sight to see and always different. It's not too crowded, and it's a safe hav...

Seminole Wekiva Trail - San Sebastian Trailhead

Hiking area

👍 This is one of my favorites trails! It combines green areas and urban views. I recommend to do the trail to the end when you can reach the little portion of the Wekiva lake or springs. For me the last portion of the trail is the best and usually is not as busy as the main trail. This can be consider...

Little Big Econ Barr Street Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Awesome ltrees and gators! I came with a small group and we didn't do the loop. We went down the trail nearest the water to a little peninsula and came back. It was under 4 miles total. There are some really lovely trees along the way. We also saw about 5 gators with a couple being quite large...
