To get away from the built up areas and the theme parks this place (along with Forever Florida) is a great way to get back to nature and see what Florida is/ was really like before the tourists came along !!

After spending two days at LEGOLAND, we took the kids here for a little hike/walk. It was a really beautiful area. We enjoyed seeing the natural landscape, and the last undeveloped lake in central Florida (Lake Russell).

Great free activity to take the kids to see nature. I especially liked that even though the land was donated by DIsney, that I didnt see anything to do with Disney while on our hike!

There is...

Simply amazing. Loved the lake. Loved the trail. Great place to take pics, enjoy nature and relax.The welcome center had plenty of information about the area. I recommend anyone to come here. Its awesome

A beautiful place to stop by, that's off the beaten path. Which is a great thing, because there are acres of beautiful, unspoiled nature all around. Give yourself plenty of time to tour.
