(Pumpkin hanging place.)
Long ago the Seminoles planted a type of pumpkin at the base of trees and trained them to grow upward. This was a source of food and kept for almost a year. They were sweet and could be cooked much like squash.

THINGS TO KNOW:
There is a fee. $3 per person.
It is a WMA- so there is hunting.
It’s an easy drive - car friendly.
One way in and one way out.
There are snakes.
Stay on the names and numbered roads.
NEAR BY:
Weeki Wachee springs.
Places to fish.
Places to swim or dive if cave certified.
Plenty of restaurants.
Kayaking the Chaz river to the North.
Not too far from Citrus.
THOUGHTS:
Go early or later you will see more wildlife.
This was so easy we never even put it in 4wheel drive. It’s a bit of a drive from Orlando, but you can make a day of it by visiting other springs in the area. Take a hike to Buford Springs.

I’m glad to see what’s been in my backyard for 8 years

The Eagles sink would be a cool place to take a swim. Waiting on the hunting season to mellow out a bit before heading back.

Many people have died in those caves, but its beautiful seeing videos people have taken of them.

Yes cave diving should never be done without extensive training. Even then it only takes one mishap and it can spell disaster. I spent time diving in the 80s but only did open water dives.

My sister and brother-in-law used to live in Glenn Lakes. We'd explore back there all the time! Usually end up at the distillery! Nice video!

An easy ride with a great view. I wish they would run a road out the the gulf.

Best time for wheelin this time of year. Not to hot and roads are not to dusty. Just like you say. Hunters have their time and we have ours.

Neat place to explore. We still need to go back and do more of the North end.

Thanks for sharing. Not far from me. I will have to check it out. Any hanging pumpkins? I wonder if they were the bigger Seminole Pumpkins of which I have seeds or the little native gourds?

@FloridaJeepRides 3 жыл бұрын

The Seminole pumpkins can be reseeded from crops at local plant shows. I also see the seeds online. There were none there but it would be cool to have the WMA plant some around the front.

@@FloridaJeepRides That would be great. I know of some online seed shops that carry them. rareseeds dot com carries them.
