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.



Johnson Pond Hiking Trail Video

January 26, 2010


I've been out in the woods for the past few days and am just now getting back in the seat to share some of the places that I have been! I'll start you out with a video from a great short trail near Dunnellon in Marion County.

The Johnson Pond Hiking Trail is located in the Two-Mile Prairie tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest, and one of the highlights is a section of rare Florida rosemary, deer moss and reindeer lichen. It's a short hike. Give yourself a couple of hours to enjoy this beautiful walk in the woods. The Johnson Pond Trail is a stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail, so bring your spotting optics along as well. Have fun!
