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.

Florida LAKEWATCH Begins With a Water Sample

On August 16, 1986, two Florida lakes began keeping a new kind of record. The first LAKEWATCH water samples came from Lake Santa Fe in Alachua County and Lake Broward in Putnam County.
