Best Backroads of Florida: The Heartland, Vol. 1
by Douglas Waitley
Category: Travel

Volume 1 offers ten single-day backroads tours in the central part of the state on Florida's little-traveled byways from south of Jacksonville to north of Tampa. Follow miles of thoroughbred farms, take a ferryboat, explore crystalline springs, visit a failed and resurrected utopia, and even drive through the mother of all speed traps. Get out of the car to enjoy beautiful picnic areas, lake and river cruises, airboat rides, snorkeling and scuba diving, and biking and hiking through the beauty of the heartland.
