At Rock Springs/Kelly Park your best
vehicle from headwaters to swimming
hole is a tube or float, and you may even
see a deer or two on your trip downstream.
Orlando has them in spades. You can
enjoy Florida's famed wildlife and natural
photo-ops at Gatorland, aboard Lake
Jesup airboat rides or on eco-tours at
Wild Florida.
In lovely Winter Park, the beauty of its
Venetian canals beckon. Explore them
from a comfortable seat on a scenic
boat tour or get down to water level
and SUP with Paddleboard Orlando.
Hike or bike along the 22-mile-long West
Orange Trail or enjoy a city ride past
towering oaks, glittering lakes and the
culture-rich Loch Haven park on the
Gatorland
Natural Wonders
short, sweet 2.6-mile Orlando Urban
Trail. For color and relaxation, consider
a stroll through Harry P. Leu Gardens,
with more than 600 roses and a stunning
butterfly garden.
And while you're at it, set down the
restaurant buzzer - pick up to-go grub
at one of the city's eclectic, independently
owned eateries and immerse yourself
in Orlando's great outdoors on your
own picnic. n
