Is dispersed camping in winter allowed anywhere in central fl?

6 Upvotes

I’m looking for somewhere to overland and camp in central fl. I know you can dispersed camp during the summer in Ocala national forest and I’ve heard you can camp out in winter even tho it’s not allowed no one will bother you but I’m not sure how true that is and would prefer to do it more legitimately. I’ve looked into it a bit but finding corresponding information on it seems to be few and far between if anyone has any more information or could point me in a better direction I’d really appreciate it.thanks

There are a Hawk pair that nest by my house and every summer one and hang out, been trying to get better shots and when I do I will post.

Also, have many deer, coyotes, and owls that hang out with me. The owl has twice flown by me at roughly 10- and less feet away either hunting a sugar glider or scaring coyotes. Owls are my main totem animals

Favorite place for nature? Kid friendly

11 Upvotes

Hello we are considering a trip to Florida this winter with our family (young children). We are nature lovers and want to avoid crowds, amusement parks, all that jazz. We want to experience the natural parts of Florida - flora,fauna, do some hiking, fishing, etc. Where would be a good kid friendly spot for us to go?

Been in Florida my whole life. Parents are from here, grandparents were born here. I’ve traveled the ENTIRE state, been to other states and traveled the world. I have NEVER seen an oriole. Where in the state of Florida are they? Online says they do travel down here.

These are the only ones I've ever spotted. I'll never forget the smell, or the amount of interested flies.

We saw this guy at Circle B Bar Reserve. I had a blast watching everybody walk by him and not even realizing he was there. I waited for the kids and then I would take them back to the snake and show him where they had just walked past it and watch them freak out. I love it 🤣 He was about waist high in a shrub beside the trail.

I took both of these from the water. It was one of the nights it was lit up and it happened to also be a full moon that night. There was also bioluminescence in the wake from our boat.

Protect Shingle Creek Headwaters to the Everglades

36 Upvotes

This petition is against the Tuscana Project. This development plan would not only greatly impact the Williamsburg community but also the surrounding neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Deer Creek. This would be an absolute disaster for thousands of homes and wildlife that depend on those woods for survival. This area is not only sensitive wetland but also headwaters to the Everglades. Please sign and share to spread awareness. Thank you for caring! 🙏 #saveshinglecreek
