Between Tampa And Gainesville Is An Archaeological Park With Native American History, Fishing, And Trails

Florida's Gulf Coast is a prime, year-round vacation escape, but its tourism hotspots tend to center on its prominent Gulf-side beaches. Inland from the Gulf, however, sits a worthy collection of outdoor attractions preserving Florida's natural, cultural, and historical treasures without any beaches involved. A superb Florida hidden gem for history and nature lovers alike is the small but extraordinary Crystal River Archaeological State Park. With the word "archaeological" in its name, you can probably guess that this park is a bit more history-minded than most Florida state parks. At the same time, this park is far from a stuffy history lecture, and you'll find top-tier inland water recreation along with its historic treasures.

Stalled rainmaker over Florida floods Polk County streets and yards

Having an umbrella handy was not just a good idea this morning — forecasters say a Super El Nino could bring more frequent low-pressure systems that generate more than usual rainfall into the winter. Most of Polk County was under a flood advisory until 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 2 as wide areas of rain covered Florida, especially south of Interstate 4, according to the National Weather Center in Ruskin. Overnight, a stalled low-pressure system picked up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and dumped as much as 6 inches of rain per hour in some parts of Polk County as it crossed the peninsula on its way to the Gulf of Mexico, said NWS meteorologist Stephen Shiveley. Several inches of rain blamed for localized deluges and flooded roads In Polk County, the deluge was especially felt in rural areas surrounding Indian Lake Estates and Lake Wales, he said. A weather cell dumped 5-6 inches of rain there. Closer to Lakeland, the NWS received a report that Swindell Road experienced flooding, Shiveley said. He said the heaviest rainfall amounts were west of downtown Lakeland at about 3.5 inches. The NWS had issued a flood advisory for the area including Lakeland to Plant
