Amazing Scenery:
* Scenic travel and tourism are not publicized as much today as they were in past years. Perhaps, this is because so much of the original scenery is gone and artificial attractions must take up the slack. Not so in our back-to-nature region. The main attraction is nature herself. You will see amazing wilderness vistas, inspiring seascapes and uninhabited islands you can reach without a boat. Also the many horse farms and dairy farms that dot the countryside. Houseboating for a weekend (or more) for a week on the Suwannee can be a unique never-to-be-forgotten experience.

Boating:
* If your idea of great boating does not having to watch every second for another boat, this is your king of places with your kind of waters. Boat the Suwannee River, the Steinhatchee, and the Waccasassa and see what can only be described as the "Real Florida" - accept no imitations. Boat docks can be located at nearby Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs.
