Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park, a quick jaunt east from Tallahassee, Florida, is a treasure trove of recreational and educational experiences.
Set within what was once a significant ceremonial center, the park is home to one of Florida's highest earthen mounds, standing almost 50 feet tall. A paved path leads visitors near this monumental structure, providing an up-close look at this ancient architecture. The park narrates the history of its indigenous inhabitants, making each visit a journey through time. A stroll along the nature trail often rewards visitors with sightings of local wildlife like deer, turkeys, and squirrels, thriving in their natural environment.
Don't forget to gaze skyward while you're there; during the winter, the park becomes a flyway for various migratory birds en route to Lake Miccosukee, offering a spectacular avian display.
