Outdoor experiences
Experience a refreshing spring swim or float down a scenic lazy river. This is a glimpse into the real Florida with crystal clear crisp and cool springs that punctuate the central part of the state. Places like rock Springs are a jewel and a must see. There is tube rental just before the gates at a rock springs bar and grill.

Favorite Restaurants
You will find goblin market off of an alley with a unassuming entrance. Go upstairs to the bar, it is the local favorite. A bar menu is available or for dining make a reservation. It is our most favorite place to go.

Lakeside Inn is ideal to grab a cocktail from their small inside bar and take it to their comfy rocking chairs on the porch. Also walk past their pool down to the waters edge it is one of the best lake views in town.
