Florida is brimming with beautiful state and national parks that are perfect to visit no matter the season. But while many visitors might choose to check out the bigger, more popular state parks during their travels, we recommend exploring some of those hidden gems, too. For instance, Ravine Gardens State Park in Florida is a smaller, hidden spot near Palatka that is still worth checking out. With rock gardens and cypress buildings, check out why you should consider visiting this smaller state park.

Ravine Gardens State Park in Florida is a hidden gem in Palatka that has been transformed into a most magical place.
