The south has walking trails, that can be combined to become miles. Since they are around natural ponds, prairie, and weird wooded areas, views are always different. You take your cart to one of the parking areas, and take a walk.

You speak of hiking, are you looking for wilderness, or high climbing? There are great state parks within driving distance, but no real high altitude climbs. We tend to keep to the well groomed trails here, not a fan of the snakes, plus gators during mating season you will be amazed at how well traveled they are.

At our 3rd home in TV ( what used to be considered the middle) we have a pond across the street, that pelicans come in the winter, and fish out, staying for about a week, then move to next stocked pond. We have had panther, black bear, coyote, wander past our lanai cameras. We watch bald eagles and split tails soaring over our house.

We started in TV in 2007, and wondered every year what will come next, in 2023, it’s every month what is new. The charter school attracts families that come here to work, and get a great education in new state of the art HS. We tend to leave go to our northern lake home, cause this summer has been beyond any high temp Fl has ever seen.

Take time, it was four visits before we chose first vaca home, then continued to move to the next area we wanted to live. No attachment here to house, homes are relatively easy to sell, we have moving companies that will pack you and move your furniture.
