Florida's pristine, one-of-a-kind ecosystems draw national and global nature enthusiasts to the state every year. Over the past few decades, Florida officials have taken great care to improve Florida's state parks, hiking trails and kayaking waterways, giving residents and outsiders seeking a memorable adventure vacation or day trip wonders to behold. Hiking and kayaking in Florida has never been better or more accessible, and at Tropical Resort & Marina we are literally right next to some of the best hiking and kayaking locations Florida has to offer.
Many of Florida's hiking and kayaking hot spots are set amongst environments that are unique to the state, and they have become a huge draw for visitors and residents--most of whom have never experienced the unparalleled Florida ecosystems firsthand. Florida boasts mangroves, salt marshes, dunes, maritime forests, rivers and springs, lakes, swamps, freshwater marshes, pine flatwoods and dry prairies, scrub landscapes and high pines, as well as temperate hardwood forests.
With all of these incredible ecosystems comes some truly incredible species of plants and wildlife native to the state of Florida. Birders and wildlife hobbyists rejoice as they finally have the chance to check off some of their greatest discoveries in our great state, like a Roseate Spoonbill, a carnivorous sun dew plant, a majestic manatee, or even the rare Florida Panther.
While staying at Tropical Resort & Marina, you'll have an exceptional opportunity to hike some of Florida's greatest nature trails. Located in DeLand, FL, our comfortable lodgings are literally right next to hiking trails that will keep you busy for days. Our neighbor, Hontoon Island State Park was formerly a Native American stomping ground, and you can hike right to the very site of their homeland.
Right down the road, you'll find Blue Springs State Park: a hike through this area and you're sure to go home with a manatee sighting. Birders will appreciate Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, a bird sanctuary just minutes away from our resort, where you can hike 1 mile, 5 miles or even 10 miles of pristine landscape.
