At the hottest part of one of the hottest days of the year in Florida, I visited Mariner’s Cove Park. Good thing there was plenty of shade. At the front of Mariner’s Cove Park sits a couple greenspaces and spots with shade. A good thing too cause as you can see in the above images it was scorching hot out.
For my next adventure, I visited Green Springs Park. The green color comes from the sulfur in the water. A smell that I am all too familiar with. Green Springs Park is a little smaller than nearby Gemini Springs, but in this case, that wasn’t a problem at all. In fact, I prefer this park to the other one for
For my next adventure, I visited Thornby Park. Located just off the Spring to Spring Trail, there was a lot to see here. Thorny Park is split into a couple different sections. Before I explored the trail that looped around the back side, I checked out the parking lot and playground at the entrance. When I first arrived there was
I checked out Spring to Spring Trail 3 and traveled much farther than intended. I got my miles in for sure this time. Before I went too far down Spring to Spring Trail 3, I pass Mile Marker 24.5. Remember that this trail is going backwards mile wise because I started at the wrong end. But as you will see
Before I went back to the trail, I explored nearby Debary Memorial Park. It has a different feel than the nearby Gemini Springs. But that is hardly a bad thing. Debary Memorial Park is a space dedicated to Veterans. I assume mostly the Air Force, but I don’t want to be wrong on that and make a false claim. Unlike
I finally made it to Gemini Springs Park. There was a lot to see and do here and so made sure to get up early to make it before the sun was too intense. Gemini Springs has a lot going on around the springs themselves. Even the entryway is pleasing to the eye. I started my journey by the entrance
As promised I continued my adventure down Spring to Spring Trail 2. I started near a trailhead just to the west of my last stopping point. Before I could get back to where I was before, I hiked down a trailhead that took me through some quiet as I walked back to Spring to Spring Trail 2. Well not completely
After exploring some parks I finally continued my adventure onto Spring to Spring Trail. Continuing where Cross Seminole Trail left off, I was excited for all sorts of new discoveries. Starting right where Cross Seminole Trail ended, right at the county line with Volusia County I found that the Spring to Spring Trail actually started here instead of across the
I continued a much earlier journey and visited Lake Monroe Park. It was my first adventure in Volusia County. Lake Monroe Park has a few features I have not seen at many other parks. This might be a design in places in Volusia County though. Future blog posts will answer that riddle. The most prominent thing that stood out to
I was in downtown Orlando to take care of some stuff and found some time to get some pictures of Heritage Square Park. While the nearby museum is the main attraction, the grounds nearby still are quite peaceful. While a small park, there is plenty to see at Heritage Square Park. Countless spots of art describe the rich history of
