Likewise, Coastal Floridians come to ride and stable their horses here, too, because of our extensive network of equestrian trails, which also includes the historically recognized Florida Cracker Trail ride that occurs every year. We're also home to Florida's first park - Highlands Hammock State Park with 500,000+ visitors annually. And since we're on the original island sand dune that Florida grew from, we're home to many wading/predator birds + plants & animals that have been here since dinosaur times and don't live anywhere else on planet Earth.
