Don’t you love a natural attraction combining a wide variety of activities in one shot? That’s how we feel about Wes Skiles Peacock Springs State Park in Live Oak, Florida. This beautifully sprawling state park clocks in at 733 acres of land, highlighting sinkholes, an underground cave system, and two major natural springs. This relatively hidden park is more rural than other park systems, emphasizing the natural, much less developed land. Guests can spend a day here swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and enjoying the variety of wildlife that call the area home. Get ready to hike the Peacock Springs Interpretive Trail and see what all the fuss is about.
