This state park makes you question whether or mot your still in Florida. With the ravines and beauty surroundings, this is a must for the outdoor enthusiast.
Amazing hiking and breathtaking views. February is the Azalea 🌺 Festival. Azaleas bloom December - April.
This is a hidden gem only 40 minutes away in rural Palatka. Its well worth the visit, gorgeous vegetation and nature trails
A ravine was created over thousands of years by water flowing from the sandy ridges on the shore of the St. Johns River. In 1933, this ravine was transformed into a dramatic garden by the federal Works Progress Administration. Much of the original landscaping still exists as formal gardens and an extensive trail system. A 1.8-mile paved road winds around the ravine, offering motorists and bicyclists a view of the gardens. The Ravine Loop is closed to vehicle traffic one hour before sunset, but remains open for pedestrians, bicycles, and wheelchairs. The garden's peak flowering period is azalea season, late January to April.
