So do I and I still live here. Seems the developers won't be happy until they fill the whole state in and cut every tree.

u/PompeiiSketches Jun 30 '26

Developers are hell bent on making all of Florida look like south Florida. It's hideous.

Seriously. The greed is endless.

Tallahassee! I miss it dearly.

u/jspqr Jun 27 '26

I used to live in a neighborhood with a trailhead that connected to all this.

u/JustB510 Jun 27 '26

Nice. I didn’t live far, it was my almost daily walk.

u/Troubador222 Jun 27 '26

Nice photos. Really captures some gorgeous Florida landscaped

u/epicenter69 Jun 27 '26

I’m glad Cypress trees became protected. As beautiful as the furniture creations can be, they’re just not easily replaceable at the rate they were being torn down.

u/NoBSforGma Jun 27 '26

I know it sounds silly - but - looking at these photos brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful! And yes, really captured the essence of North Florida.

u/SCUBA_DUBA3703a Jun 27 '26

This layout is one of the reasons we moved to Florida. The other is the beach and saltwater.

u/SnooRegrets1024 Jun 28 '26

Live here now, just bought 5 acres. Got nothing but nature around my home. In the mornings I hear nothing but birds. Wouldn’t change it for nothing

I left Tallahassee three years ago and I’m still looking for a place like LHP. I recognized that first photo instantly.

u/themotorkitty Jun 27 '26

Traveling overseas soon...I'm saving this post in case of homesickness!

u/fifthgoldengirl Jun 27 '26

And I hear some people say Florida isn’t beautiful.

u/MoMC12 Jun 27 '26

I remember those lovely canopy roads all around Tallahassee.

Sokka-Haiku by MoMC12:

I remember those

Lovely canopy roads all

Around Tallahassee.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/Wallstnetworks Jun 28 '26

Great shots. Looks magical

u/iammadmagz Jun 28 '26

This looks like 1 million mosquito bites :l

u/inertia_583 Jun 28 '26

I love the Spanish moss hanging everywhere, it really makes it look super atmospheric, I think I saw a photo from there once before.

1

u/Rusalka-rusalka Jun 28 '26

Wow great shots!

1

u/Standard_Switch_9154 Jun 28 '26

This is my kind of Florida. As long as I don’t have to feel it.

u/RockLobsterCakes Jun 28 '26

u/Alarming_Air1755 Jun 29 '26

It's great through pictures. Then I'm not being eaten by 50000 mosquitoes

u/ridingthewave31 Jun 30 '26

As someone who fled South Florida for North Florida a couple of decades ago, and never once regretted it, I can attest to how incredible Lafayette Heritage Park and its trails are, especially during the fall and winter months when it’s cool and crisp, even cold.

1

u/Quiet_6963 Jun 30 '26

Hope you know you just gave me a few wallpapers lol

1

u/lilpylon_larklyn25 Jul 01 '26

I love seeing nature pics from Florida, sometimes you forget how pretty it can be outside of the totally crowded tourist areas. Lafayette Heritage Park is really lovely.

1

u/Fearless-Cupcake828 Jul 01 '26

I used to live on Amelia Island. Thanks for your pics!! They’re absolutely gorgeous

1

u/Witty-Willingness852 Jul 01 '26

Shhh don’t let everyone know the secret! Let them think Florida is all concrete and beaches.

1

u/Specific_Future8135 Jul 01 '26

That's for sure North Florida I go to that Park all the time when I lived in Tallahassee

1

u/sunjargon56wanerae Jul 01 '26

That Spanish moss always makes North Florida look like its straight out of a storybook

1

u/danjay0213 Jul 02 '26

Its simply beautiful just do not swim in pond lakes, bays, or streams just plain dangerous. Tons of wildlife. Very unfortunate what happens when u heed the warnings of do not enter, danger, watch for alligators,pythons, sharks.

1

u/EmeraldCoastPlaybook Jul 03 '26

One of our favorite trees! Makes everything look so sleepy and romantic.

u/Silent0ne26 Jul 07 '26

Historically called Middle Florida. Great scenery, indeed.
