There are 175 state parks and 3 National Parks right at our fingertips! Whether you love camping, fishing, paddle boarding, scuba diving or sunbathing, there is something for everyone to enjoy. A 2019 study found that just 2 hours a week spent in nature be it at the beach, the woods or the park, gives a positive boost to health and wellbeing, both mentally and physically. So l step away from the Zoom meetings and Netflix marathons and prepare to be inspired to plan your next great Florida adventure.
