Review:

Alafia River State Park has in interesting history; it stands on the spot of a reclaimed phosphate mine, which has been turned into beautiful green space which offers a host of outdoor attractions for nature lovers. The park stands out from the rest of central Florida’s rather flat topography, offering challenging mountain-bike trails as well as pleasantly hilly hiking and equestrian trials for you to explore. If you prefer water activities you can go canoeing, kayaking and fishing along the Alafia River or one of the many lakes dotted around the park. Other park activities include camping, picnicking, bird watching and geo-seeking.
