Ocala National Forest Tours

If you walk to the end of the path (about .5 miles) turn left and you'll pass over this bridge. Nice spot for a pic.

Riding the back forest roads at sunset. This is such a peaceful place. #camping

Juniper Springs Kayak Run in Florida has become one of our favorite. The run has beautiful movie like blue waters and palm trees over the water. It’s about a 7 mile run. #likealocal

Florida’s numerous cerulean springs offer ample kayaking opportunity- just don’t be tempted to go for a dip- this is gator country. #BVSBlue

Great spot to dive or snorkel. Get there early, the lot, tables and water fills up fast.
