It's a cool spot, very unique hiking experience in Florida. The road loop around the ravine was very pleasant on my motorcycle.

Overall a very cool park to visit! We stopped by Angel's dining car afterwards for a milkshake

A beautiful oasis. One of the first dates with my now wife. Ravine Gardens then across the river for Corky Bells.
