Alachua County and Gainesville, FL Area State Parks and Springs

On my Gainesville, FL real estate website, I have a tab for Food and Recreation. I have done several Gainesville area restaurant profiles and have written an article for my recommended places to eat in Gainesville. I also comprised a list of places to play golf in Gainesville and golf course communities. It is high time I transfer my list of State Parks from my website to Localism and Active Rain in an effort to gain more exposure for these places!

Gainesville is a very "green friendly" community and is home to a wealth of trees not commonly thought of when one envisions a "typical" Florida city. Gainesville more closely resembles what people envision when they think of Georgia or North Carolina, NOT Florida. And guess what? We have hills! Please view my blog index for Gainesville and Alachua Co. Slideshows and Photos!

Below are just a few of our wonderful local State Parks and Springs. Don't miss Ichetucknee Springs State Park if you want to have a real blast innertubing down the river in the middle of a gorgeous shady hammock!


Devil's Millhopper

Awesome sinkhole you can walk down into with the stairs provided. Trails surround the sinkhole. The only downside is the climb back up the stairs!



San Felasco Hammock

San Felasco comprises two distinct parks separated by a creek. The strictly hiking trailhead is located off of Millhopper Road and the biking and equestrian trail head is located off of 441. Miles of trails through gorgeous preserve land where you will more than likely see a deer or five!



Kanapaha Botanical Gardens

Kanapaha is a 62 acre facility home to not only the state's largest display of bamboos and other plants, but it is also the site of the popular Kanapaha Annual Arts festival with tons of vendors, food and live entertainment!



Paynes Prairie


Hawthorne State Trail


Morningside Nature Center


Ichetucknee Springs State Park

Ginnie Springs

Poe Springs

Blue Springs

Devil's Den

Gum Root Swamp - 741 acre conservation area

Alfred A. Ring Park - Located off Glen Springs Road, this 19 acre park comprises trails through hammocks and passing Hogtown Creek and picnic areas

Dudley Farm State Park - Home to 18 buildings representing a late 1800s farm which includes staff in period clothing, the original family farmhouse complete with furnishings and even a functional cane syrup complex.

OLeno State Park - Oleno is approx. 6 miles north of High Springs, but worth mentioning as it is located along the Santa Fe River, has multiple sinkholes, hammocks and is near River Rise State Preserve. You may canoe, hike, bike, fish and picnic here and even camp at the full-facility campground.

CALL TO ACTION: Save Down Payment Assistance Programs by supporting HR 6694

If any of you have used AmeriDream or Nehemiah Down Payment Assistance Programs to help your buyers get into a home, you know how excellent the programs are, how easy to use they are and how they can often make or break the difference between your customer being able to purchase a home or not.

10/01/2008 is TOO LATE. Please take a moment to support H.R. 6694 and fight to save down payment assistance. In a market like this, we need all the help we can get to assist good qualified buyers into getting into a home. These down payment assistance programs are TOOLS for your toolbox and not to be abused. Only qualifying buyers are eligible to use these programs and they are an excellent source for your first time home buyers.

Down payment assistance programs are not just a tool for buyers! Your sellers can stand apart from the crowd by offering to make a contribution to the DPA program on the buyer's behalf at closing. Over 1 million people have become homeowner's with these programs! Offering a $7500 first-time buyer tax credit as part of an economic stimulus package and taking away DPAs sends a mixed message! When the real estate market is depressed, we need all the buyer incentives we can get to encourage growth and repair during these fragile times. Whether you're a buyer that used the program, a seller that contributed to a DPA, or someone in the real estate industry, please take a moment to save DPAs.

CLICK THIS LINK TO TAKE ACTION!!

Post here after you take action and let everyone know that you support HR 6694!!!
