Rails to Trails
The most rural of Florida's paved trails offers superb opportunities for bird watching and wildlife viewing, and covered benches or viewing stations occur every mile.

Gilligan Fantasies
We feel as though we've arrived in the South Seas in the mere 15 minutes it takes the ferry to spirit us away from traffic jams and life's other irks.

RV Road Trip: Ocala
Imagine swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving in the springs; canoeing and kayaking on varied rivers and lakes; hiking and biking on hundreds of miles of trails - just outside your door.

High Springs B&B and Bicycle
With glasses of red wine from the carafe in our room, we wandered the house's gardens, toasting next to a moonlit Koi pond.

One if By Land, Two if By Sea
We peddle along an old railroad trail through lush greenery. The trail circles around the tip of the island and gives us beautiful views of Placida Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico.

Let Them Run Wild
We take in the beauty of the fertile marshes and prairie grasses that fill the wetlands, and marvel over the stunning birds passing overhead.
Tags: Sarasota, parks, nature, canoeing, biking, wildlife, camping,
Homestead and the Redland
Homestead feels like a town best approached in slow mode. Like a century plant, its flowering has been long coming.
Tags: Homestead, Miami, biking,
B&B and Bicycle
We even ventured off the river, past oyster beds, into narrow waterways surrounded by mangroves.

Urban Escape in St. Petersburg
Rather than continuing on the trail, Nate and I decided to loop back to Dunedin and drive north to explore Tarpon Springs. We ended up biking 15 miles in all - still enough to burn off breakfast and warrant a huge Greek meal.

Explorer on an Adventure Trail
Herculean cleaning and restoration in the 34 years since the Park Service acquired the upper three-and-a-half miles of the six-mile stream have re-established its original look.

Marianna Calling
There's a natural born "what's the rush" quality about this oldest of inland Florida counties, 65 miles west of Tallahassee, that makes hanging out its best attraction.
Tags: Marianna, tours, biking,
Cedar Key/Steinhatchee Area
Swim in the ever-cool waters where the springhead forms a natural pool and pumps out 116.9 million gallons of crystalline water every day.

Cycling Must-Sees
A scenic trail leads to Honeymoon Island State Park, where cyclists can catch a ferry to the award-winning beaches of Caladesi Island.

Little-Known Cycling Trails
Largely shaded by the mixed hardwood and pine forests, the trail is of particular interest to birding enthusiasts, who will enjoy spotting more than 40 species that call the forested hills home.

Cycling State Parks
Set along the banks of the Santa Fe River, cyclists should take a break from the 13 miles of rolling single- and double-track trails and take the short hiking trail down to the "river sink," where the Santa Fe vanishes underground, reappearing three miles away.
Tags: Gainesville, Marianna, parks, biking, trails,
Cycling Events
Covering some of the most scenic roadways of Southeast Florida, the Great Coconut Grove Tour features a full weekend of cycling, from the 195-mile, two-day ultra-ride to the more casual 35-mile Sunday ride.
