A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Chris Hawthorne

Happy New Year

            With the promise of a brand new year many of us will make a resolution and hope to keep it all year this time. If you are one of those who will resolve to make a positive change but may need a little encouragement, then let us here at the Florida Caverns help. If you’re looking to get healthier, then why not try one of our hiking trails where the majestic scenery far surpasses what you will find at any gym. Perhaps your artistic side is begging to have solitude and fresh air to get those creative juices flowing, feel free to canoe up the Chipola River where you rarely come across another person. The park provides wonderful places to picnic or read a good book without interruption. Adventure is always available when you take a tour of the world underground. Deep below the surface is hidden a world of treasure and beauty that can not be seen anywhere else in the state. The cave formations are so numerous that a person would have trouble counting all of them in one room. The choices of activities can range from fishing and birding to grilling and camping. If time is an issue, then stop and ask a ranger what they could recommend for someone with your tastes. Make this coming year memorable by visiting a state park near you and hopefully keeping your resolutions.

           

Florida Caverns State Park is here to serve and meet your family needs.

Please stop by and enjoy your park.
