Florida Caverns State Park

 
Growing up a super-nerd I have always thought that caves were awesome.  When I first learned that there were caves in the state of Florida I knew I had to go and check them out! Florida Caverns State Park in Marianna was no disappointment!  There is a half-mile trail carved out through the cave and it takes about 50 minutes to go on a tour lead by a park ranger.  There is an additional $8 charge per adult for access to the cave. 

 
The decent into the cave!

 
 

Pictured above is the one part of the cave that you are allowed to touch.


 
 
Although we neglected to take any photos, the state park has a fantastic camping area! They have stables available for equestrian campers as well as a fantastic network of trails for horse and human alike! The beautiful Chipola River is nearby and there private canoe and kayak rental companies who are happy to rent you a boat or provide transportation services.
