The Wacissa Springs County Park has over a dozen different clear springs.  That’s why it’s a great place for boaters, snorkelers, and swimmers.  This park is also perfect for fishing and wildlife viewing. 

If you want to spend some time communing with nature, you can camp at the popular Goose Pasture Group Campground for as many as 10 days.  This camping area is actually open on “a first-come, first-served basis” via “self-issued special use authorization.”  You can also enjoy horseback riding, hiking, and biking.

The states of Vermont and Oregon get lots of attention and praise for being the best places in the US for beer aficionados.  But many people are clueless about this hidden brewery trail in Florida.  The great Southwest Florida Ale Trail connects all of the different breweries across four counties in Florida.  You can even get a passport that can be stamped at each of the breweries and win prizes.  Several of the breweries are close to the coast too so you can enjoy beer and the beach.
