National parkland consisting of 383,220 acres of various landscapes, including highlands, coastal lowlands, swamps, springs, lakes and ponds.
We hiked sections of the Florida Trail through the Ocala National Forest. Know that you can park for free where a road intersects the trail. It is an easy trail with few tree roots and other obstacles on the trail. We did not need out hiking sticks. It gently rolls in a few sections, so no significant altitude changes. There are many sandy sections. We enjoyed sections going north out out Juniper Springs and south from 314 the most as it was mostly forest with some shade. Hopkins Prairie north of 50 is pretty but sandy and sunny. We went in January, so the temperatures were in the 60s and 70s. No bugs nor mud. Do not attempt to hike here or most places in Florida in the summer other than at dawn or dusk. Here it will be swampy, in the 90s, buggy and too humid.

Located on 117 acres of scenic, rolling land, in beautiful Lake County, the heart of Central Florida. Amid spreading oaks, garlands of Spanish moss waving gently from their branches, you'll find the best of both worlds!Renninger's Mount Dora Markets are just 30 minutes north of Orlando, FL, on U.S. 441, just north of Route 46. Antiques Center Open Fridays 10 to 4, Saturdays & Sundays 9 to 5.Farmers & Flea Sat. & Sun 8 to 4
It was our first time to visit Mt. Dora and we wondered why there were so many cars everywhere on this weekend. The next morning I was searching for things to do and saw this show-listing so we headed over there about 11:30. We couldn't believe all the cars parked at the market and how massive this was. We first walked a good portion of the flea market and the buildings on that side. We didn't see much we 'needed' and then headed over to the antique side about 2:30. We enjoyed this side much more as we looking at so many interesting items. They have these cute little buildings that are open every weekend but we didn't have enough time to go in many of them. That probably was a good thing as we kept finding things to buy in this area! It turns out that we were there during an Extravaganza Weekend that only takes place three times a year. During these shows, they have far more vendors than every weekend.

We had 22 of us for a fun night on the lake for a sunset cruise. Enjoyed ourselves immensely. We saw a gator and a bald eagle and got to see the Christmas lights at the marina from the water. Beautiful evening. I would do it again.

Lake Louisa State Park is 4500 acres of beautiful, real Florida! Just minutes from the area's major attractions, the park hosts guided horseback rides, guided kayak eco-tours, kayak canoe and bike rentals, fishing, hiking, biking, camping, swimming, and just about anything else you would expect in a natural setting. Home to 20+ miles of trails, 7 lakes, 60 campsites, 20 cabins, a swim beach, playground, fishing piers, and more, you could spend days on end exploring this treasured gem.
First time camping at Lake Louisa State Park. We had a great site with a beautiful view of Lake Dixie. Came in late Friday night to a gorgeous sunset! Electric and water hook- ups with a dump station close by. Great place to ride bikes, kayak, hike and trail ride. Loved the rolling hills and amazing views-check out Lake Louisa after you pass through the ranger station. Everyone was very accommodating. We couldn’t arrive the day we planned so I notified the ranger station- no problem, our reservation /site was secured for the next day( we had already paid in full). I will definitely be back to camp but also for day trips to hike and bike.

We were in the area for some meetings and had a couple free afternoons. We headed straight for this park. Such a delightful, restful place. There's a walkway around the bay, with bridges to some little islands, a kiddie playground, a boat launch, picnic tables, and sand volleyball courts at one end. There were families, guys fishing, people bird watching, and walkers out exercising. But it's so big that it didn't seem at all crowded. We thoroughly enjoyed the perfect weather, and the peaceful atmosphere. If we lived here we'd find a place close-by and be in this park every day.

Lake Minneola is one of the best places to enjoy family life in Lake County. Lot of stuff can be done and in a calm day you could have hours of boating to jet-ski fun!

Take a Monster Truck tour through a privately owned 2500 working Citrus and Cattle Ranch and pick citrus fresh from the tree during season (November-May). Enjoy an Old Time Country Store full of local goodies year round.
Great event you ride through the groves in a monster school bus learning so much about different types of oranges and why they look different on the tree than in the store. The tour continues through a swamp where you might end up seeing little alligators ending with seeing long horn steers and other animals in the outback Finish with oranges to buy and even wine tasting
