Gainesville Vacation Highlights
|
 |
|
Take a stroll around the Gainesville
Northeast
Historic District and visit some of the 290 period houses and
buildings that depict the lifestyle of a by-gone era. Spend a day out in
the country at the Morningside Nature Center and see how a Florida farm
family lived 100 years ago.

Descend
232 steps into a giant sinkhole at Devil's
Millhopper State Geological Site.... and then ascend 232 steps
to get out again!
This huge sinkhole was formed when the roof of an
underground cavern collapsed, leaving a bowl-shaped depression 120 feet
(36 meters) deep.
At nearby Payne's Prairie State Preserve
visit a wildlife sanctuary with a rare herd of buffalo as well as
descendants of the first horses brought ashore by the Spanish.
Stroll the tree-lined
streets of High Springs and browse through antique shops, craft
studios, and boutique shops.

 Visit
the century old buildings and homes throughout this historic town.
For the literary
minded visitor, a place of interest to visit is the Marjorie Kinnan
Rawlings State Historic Site at Cross Creek, where the author
wrote her popular book "The Yearling".
Paddle a canoe on the waterways at High Springs or
dive into a crisp, crystal-clear spring. Enjoy the outdoors in the
nearby parks that offer hiking, biking and camping.
Cool
off in an inner tube as you drift slowly down the beautiful, lazy Ichetucknee River.
