Ocala, from my short trips into the depths of the park, is wonderful. Juniper Wilderness is nothing but pure quiet.

There is a lot to do... some cool kayak trails that I used to do in a canoe, the sleep spots are on platforms. Too cool. If you are squeamish about mosquitoes and bugs definitely do it in the winter. I would call the park office for tours, trails and maps, they are very helpful. Make sure they know you are there and where you are. While I was down there, every time, they always wanted to know because I was a first responder and how long I had been in Scouting... some of the most amazing trips and times of my life spent down there. I hope you go.
Ocala, as subtle as they are, there are many biomes there and could not be explored in a lifetime. So beautiful and some of the most fragrant places in the US. Lived there for seven years.
