Wormsloe State Historic Site

Most visitors to the historic Wormsloe Plantation only explore the iconic tree-lined Oak Avenue and the historic areas – but they also miss out on a larger portion of the historic site. A 3.2-mile loop explores the park’s popular and historic areas before ending at a Civil War-era Confederate earthworks "fort" on the Battery Trail. The tour begins at the park’s entrance, a stone arch raised in...

This drive begins at he corner of Alligator Alley and Wildlife Drive and lasts about 4.2 miles. The trail is wide enough to fit two vehicles if necessary, but it is a one-way track.

Alligators, cranes, turtles, birds and so much more are within 5 feet of the path. T...

Hike the Nature Trail at Sergeant Jasper Park

This park is filled with everything an outdoor adventure should have. Each of the seven lakes has gorgeous look out spots where you can fish (if you purchase a daily pass). There is a nature trail that goes throughout the park as well as wraps around the lakes and twists through the lush forest. This trail is well marked yet it gives you the feel of being totally lost in the woods all at once. ...

But, it also runs right along several marshes and swamps so the wildlife is incredible. While walking near Ibis Pond you'll see several types of birds. When you get near the lakes there will be alligators everywhere. The lush forest surrounding the trail and th...
