What makes this property unique

A Guide to Ocala National Forest, Florida.
The magical natural fresh water springs or Ocala National Forest are a perfect way to spend a hot day in central Florida – great for a day trip north of Orlando! Ocala is the southernmost forest in the continental U.S., and has the largest sand pine scrub forest. Birders flock to the area to get a chance to see the Florida scrub jay and you have a chance to run into a Florida black bear!

Quick tips:

+Each of the many springs cost separate admission fee, even if you have America the Beautiful pass

+If you just want to photograph the springs, many allow entrance for a short period of time for free

+The springs stay a constant temperature of 72 degrees year round – may be chilly so make sure to come on a hot sunny day if you plan on swimming

+You can rent a canoe at the springs

+Cell reception can be spotty, be sure to have a handy map
