O'Leno State Park, Florida

One of the places I find inspiring

The Santa Fe River flows under a suspension bridge

Cypress Trees are along the banks of the river

Don't miss the reflection of the bridge in the water!

This lovely quiet river surprises everyone by completely disappearing a half mile downstream, into a "sink."  It comes out later and continues on it's way to the Gulf of Mexico.

If you go upstream from the bridge, you can canoe along the slow moving river.  And in summertime there's a swimming area as well, if you don't mind a bit of tannin in the water.

The last time I visited the park, I stayed overnight and attended a workshop during the winter-time.  There are little cabins available for that, as well as a large meeting hall.
