Florida

Atlantic Ridge Preserve is a tropical paradise of sabal palms, live oak and wild coffee. The park provides habitat for a variety of plants and animals.

Located along the beautiful Lake Wales Ridge, Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park covers more than 8,000 acres of scrub, sandhill and flatwoods in addition to 65 acres of submerged land.

A masterpiece of floral architecture, the gardens feature a picturesque brick walkway, secret garden, reflection pool, walled garden, and hundreds of camellias and azaleas.

The unique topography boasts some of the most radical elevation changes in the state and attracts mountain bikers from around the world to tackle the mountain bike-only trails.
