I took a trip with the Sebring club to Ponce De Leon State park. What a wonderful experience. They have a "pancake" breakfast (it costs $4.50) you make your own pancakes at your table and if you want coffee, or anything else, the price for each extra is $1.50. Then take the boat trip. it costs $12.78 - Great - lots of history. You do need to call and make reservations though. They are located north of Ocala - I went down Baseline Road to Silver Springs Blvd. turned Right onto Hwy 40 and stay on that until you get to 17 (I think the sign says bentonville or something like that - any way its 17) turn Right on 17 and go about five miles down the road. The Park is on the right and there is a $6.00 charge to get into the park. Took about an hour to get there. Really nice -
