Vacationing in Florida often makes people think of massive theme parks or pristine white sand beaches – but there is much more to the Sunshine State. The state’s subtropical climate makes it a hotspot for aquatic activities other than just at the ocean. Its countless lakes, marshlands, and estuaries can be found all over the peninsula, and with them come ecosystems found in few other places across the United States. If you want to really spend more time among these freshwater locales, check out Lake City, the town affectionately known as “Florida’s Springlands.”
