Testimonials for Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park
- A great way to bond with friends and family.
Lidia Dinkova - Gainesville, Florida - This park has some very nice hiking trails. but watch out for the ticks! I was there over Labor Day and it took me two days to finally get all the ticks off. One wasn't any bigger than the head of a pen. Unless you're camping with a group make sure you get an individual site, not one of the ones on the 4 site loop. There's no privacy at all.
Susan Burkley - vero beach, fl, Fl - Visited park first Saturday in Feb. The most visitors I have ever seen in one day on the North Rim. The new access trail is well done and the complaints about the District Headquarters well -- I guess if there is some sort of emergency and someone needs to run for help I suppose the HQ's proximity may be a redeeming factor -- because the disturbing sight of visitors climbing down to the waters edge though risky could become a fatal mistake --- perhaps to some, the knowledge that staff is near by may serve as a deterrent to more questionable behaviors. Overall, the sight of such a large number of huge alligators was impressive.
