This is one of the many oak trees found in Paynes Prairie. Paynes Prairie is a State Preserve, a so-called "wet prairie." It is a 21,000 acre state-owned preserve in Alachua County, between Gainesville and Micanopy in north central Florida. It was the first preserve to be established in Florida, and is one of the state's most significant natural and historic areas.
We followed one of the trails out to an observation tower that overlooked the prairie. Along the way there was so much to look at. Hey guys what's up there?
On one of the trails we saw a baby gator. So cute!
This was the sign we read as we approached the boardwalk. Yikes! Thank goodness that we did not see any gators on the pathway.
