Florida's State Parks

Florida has one of the most diverse landscapes in America, from white sand beaches and crystal-clear spring-fed rivers to mossy swamps and thick pine forests. And much of it is accessible to the millions of visitors that travel to Florida each year thanks to 160 fantastic state parks.
