Amy GraySo glad we finally found it. GOOGLE maps takes you to the parking lot for Weeki Wachee mermaid show. I finally called the park and was given correct directions. It was so nice to drive thru the different areas that Florida is known for. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area!

Jessica Kelly JassoWhat a wonderful experience! Visiting This Natural area of Florida. We were passing by and decided to stop and take a walk ! It is Beautiful! Lots of trails for hiking , biking , and I assume 4 wheelers use too. So peaceful! Definitely a side of Florida that a nature lover needs to visit.

Thomas BonnerVery cool place to explore! Very large area with many roads through the woods. Will definitely be back to explore more areas. Would love to explore the old saw mill ruins, just haven't found them yet.

Jen RamirezWe had an amazing time discovering this little gem. There are lots of gravel roads, twisting all around, with a couple amazing springs/ swimming holes. Scuba divers know about this place because of the 100 ft+ deep caves. Beautiful tree cover. Super fun for a few hours of family exploration for only $6 per vehicle.

cathy wrigleyThis is a huge Nature Preserve that you can drive through and stop at different sites. Don't miss the beautiful Springs to take a refreshing dip! We went looking for Fall blooming native plants as well as butterflies and were not disappointed! This was worth the trip from St Pete
