Paddle through a little piece of Hollywood history. 🎬🌿 Long before your kayak hit the water, Wakulla Springs was serving as the wild Florida backdrop for Tarzan’s Secret Treasure in 1941. More than 80 years later, the scenery is still ready for its close-up.

Florida fall may not come with sweaters and changing leaves, but we have our own version. 🌿🥾 Cooler mornings + miles of wild Florida + a trail ahead of you = good enough for us. If you could only choose ONE Wakulla trail for a fall hike, which one are you picking?
