A 7,000+ acre limestone preserve of sandhills, oak hammocks, sinkholes and wetlands — great for wide landscape shots, intimate nature studies, and wildlife (birds, gopher tortoises). Best at golden hour or blue hour for soft light on long pine rows and reflective ponds. Park is free with multiple trailheads and small gravel parking areas; trails vary from easy to rugged so bring water, bug spray and closed shoes. Weekday mornings have fewer people; spring offers wildflowers, winter gives clearer
