We are currently residing at Grand Lake RV and Golf Resort. It sits on the south side of Orange Lake, 20 miles south of Gainesville. We came back here as when we stopped here last year, there were so many activities to keep you busy. Thanks to Covid, this year there is very little. Still, we love to bike and hike and there are so many places here for that. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park has wildlife, trails, and buildings to explore. Silver Springs State Park has some great trails, too. We took the dog out four a four mile hike thru forests of palms and along a meandering stream. with only six days left here, we will see more parks and drive out to a gulf key for lunch.
