Ocala's Guide to Entertainment, Nightlife & Family Fun
We love the great outdoors, whether it's hiking the Florida National Scenic Trail or spotting wildlife at nearby Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. And April is the perfect month to enjoy it all--especially before the summer sun heats up. Designated by Congress in 1983, the Florida Trail is nearly 1,500 miles long and stretches from the Panhandle to the Everglades, with many branches right here in Marion County. While at Paynes Prairie, nature lovers can take in miles of trails and an abundance of wildlife, including otters, like the cutie on this month's cover. So what are you waiting for? Get outside, and enjoy!
