Florida state parks unveil new manatee experiences

The beloved manatee is a Florida icon, and several of our state’s award-winning state parks provide both critical habitat for manatees and educational experiences and programs to help park visitors create connections with these gentle giants. November is Manatee Awareness Month — Former Gov. Bob Graham first made the designation in 1979 — and the Florida State Parks Foundation celebrated the occasion by announcing a new wave of manatee-related resources for four state parks, all of which are no more than a day trip from Tallahassee. The Jacksonville-based Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, a longtime partner of the Foundation, donated $250,000 to help bring these new resources to fruition. “Mrs. Weaver made an incredible investment in Florida’s state parks and manatees,” Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward said. “We are thrilled to see that these projects have come to fruition through her generosity.” Want to check out the new features and experience Florida’s manatees this month? Start down the road in Levy County, where Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs state parks have each received new signage to inform visitors about Florida’s manatees and how to best share our state’s waterways with them.

Florida's Largest National Forest Is A Fishing Paradise Near Tallahassee With Camping, Swimming, And Hiking

Many of the dreamiest Florida Panhandle landscapes are defined by sugary beaches wrapped around the turquoise waters of the Gulf Coast, but venturing slightly inland can take you from seaside panoramas to forested escapes. One such wooded retreat easily accessible from Tallahassee is the Apalachicola National Forest. It's a massive refuge of over 635,000 acres with incredibly diverse landscapes, from shadowy swamps and winding rivers to underwater caves and a dense stretch of hardwoods that feels more Southern Appalachians than subtropical coast. No wonder the U.S. Forest Service describes the protected area as "one of the most unique ecosystems in the world".

5 Best Restaurants in Tallahassee, Florida You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Tallahassee favorite Nach'Yo Nachos going to food truck format

Family-owned Nach'Yo Nachos – known for its customizable, topping-loaded nachos – is leaving its Railroad Square storefront in Tallahassee and taking its business on the road. "While we are transitioning away from our storefront, we are NOT closing our doors—we’re moving on up and taking the flavor on the road! We want to send a deep, heartfelt thank you to Railroad Square for providing us with our very first storefront over this past year," an Oct. 26 social media post said. "We have enjoyed every single minute spent in the district, growing with you all and serving our incredible community." Owner/founder Adrian Kershaw and her apprentices introduced their giant, decadent platters of nachos and much more on Oct. 1, 2025. For Kershaw, the business was about more than food. "It was giving my kids the opportunity to open up a business and have their own employment so they didn't have to worry about trying to find a job," she said. With over 30 years of management experience and an admiration for places like Publix Super Markets' customer service model, she knew this would be another way to bring her and kids together. It would provide flexible learning opportunities for other
