Gainesville Day trip - La Chua Trail - Paynes Prairie Preserve

Gainesville day trip - La Chua Trail - Paynes Prairie Preserve

Step back in time with a hike along the La Chua Trail in Paynes Prairie Preserve in Gainesville Florida. Hike along the raised boardwalk on the La Chua Trail, keeping an eye out for the many alligators which call the preserve their home. Clocking in at more than 16,000 acres, Paynes Prairie Preserve offers the nature lover a pristine wilderness experience right outside the city.


Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland FL releases more than 100 million gallons of water a day into the Suwannee River, which then flows into the Gulf of Mexico twenty miles away. Winter and spring home to manatees, Manatee Springs State Park is a refuge from the summer heat, offering swimming, snorkeling, cave diving, canoeing, kayaking, and more.
