Outdoors & Nature Insider

Kevin Mims

I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.



Free Veteran's Day Admission to Florida's State and National Parks

November 05, 2009

Related Tags: Parks, Outdoors & Nature, Deals

Just a quick note with some good news!

This coming Wednesday, Nov. 11, head to one of Florida's state and national parks and enjoy free admission in celebration of Veteran's Day (except for Skyway Fishing Pier State Park in Tampa).  This is the perfect occasion to load up the family, pack a cooler and spend the day outdoors honoring those men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

To find a park or forest near you, visit www.floridastateparks.org or www.nps.gov.
