florida hiking

“i'll be visiting my parents at the end of the month, they live in venice. any cool places down there i should visit?”

“My brother said the Cathedral of San Marco is pretty cool, but sometimes it gets flooded...”

“Yo dude....get on 75 south and go to Big Cypress or the Everglades...also just south of Venice there's a small island with a state park called Cayo Costa State Park....or if you're reall ambitious....drive to the Keys...Bahia Honda State Park has the best beach in Florida and you can camp on it...plus the water is next to unbeatable...like catch some rays dude...”

“thanks, i need to check these places out”

“Venice is a hop skip and a jump from Myakka River SP. A few TTers have hiked there and it was featured awhile back in backpacker mag.”
