We stayed at Highlands Hammock for one week. When we arrived we were not impressed as the sites are so close together. However we had great neighbour's and found lots to do both in the park and in Sebring.
The park has nine hiking trails and we did all of them. The most interesting was the Cypress Swamp Trail, where the vegetation and swamp looked prehistoric, maybe even Jurassic. Another trail boasts a 1,000 year old live oak tree.
We also biked the Park's bike trails as well as a trail that goes from the park into Sebring.
The park is home to the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum where we visit
enjoyed a guided tour. The Corps was formed during the Great Depression to provide work for young men. Apparently we had something similar in Canada, maybe the Forestry Service.
We golfed at the Sebring Municipal Course where we paid $10 each for nine holes. The course is in great shape with wide, relatively long fairways and very fast greens. Although we enjoyed the course I stopped keeping score after the first couple of holes as they were not worthy of print.
Today we are in Arcadia where we will stay for three days.
