The natural, unspoiled beauty of The Original
Florida creates a perfect setting for the outdoor enthusiast. Featuring a
multitude of public lands available for recreational opportunities, nearly
anyone can find something they enjoy doing. The vast natural resources of the
area provide an excellent setting for hiking, biking, horseback riding, wildlife
viewing, golfing, and just plain old relaxing.
Taylor County had several watermills operating from about 1870 until the end
of the nineteenth century. A group of local explorers recently discovered
the remains of the Murphy Watermill on the Steinhatchee River. The floor
of the mill was cut into the rock of the creek bed. Come explore Taylor's
good nature with us.
Hiking
Hiking is a popular activity in The Original Florida. Public and private trails
are available year-round for both the day-hiker and the overnight backpacker.
Trails meandering through natural areas provided in Florida State Parks, the
Osceola National Forest and other publicly owned lands provide an excellent
setting for wildlife viewing, photography, and nature study.
