Catch Up Time: My First Florida State Park This Trip

Tweet

If you’re keeping track, I’m up to four state parks in Florida (five total because Fort Morgan is a state park in Alabama). The first state park in Florida I hit was Big Lagoon State Park. Ooh, was that pretty. The photo on the right was taken along the boardwalk that led from the parking lot to the campground area. It passes the namesake lagoon (and no, it’s not that “big”, but it is pretty), and a couple of other water overpasses along the way (one was very green, which is probably the result of pollen or some other plant life). The walk wasn’t long, less than half a mile round trip, but it certainly was beautiful. A man along the way said there’s an alligator who hangs out in the lagoon. I didn’t see the alligator in question. As far as I’m concerned, he can have the entire lagoon. On the left is the other side of the parking lot: more water (gee, what’s with all this water in this area? ). You can see a couple of trees that have borne the brunt of a hurricane or four. I had a great walk, enjoying the beauty of the lagoon and the surrounding natural area.
