Exploring Tallahassee
A largely canopied city, Tallahassee is one of Florida’s premiere destinations for access to a broad range of outdoor adventures.
Florida’s largest national forest, the Apalachicola National Forest, sits to its west, and a corridor of lands along Lake Lafayette and the headwaters of the St. Marks River to its east.
To the south is vast acreage protected in state and federal lands in Wakulla County, all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
As Florida’s center of state government, building connectivity around Tallahassee has been high on the agenda for state agencies.
It’s possible to jump on a bike within sight of the Capitol in Cascades Park and ride all the way down to the Gulf Coast at Ochlockonee Bay via paved bike paths.
Off-road cyclists can quickly access the Apalachicola National Forest for rides in Munson Hills.
Within city limits, numerous parks feature rugged ravines for hikers and cyclists to traverse.
Gentler trails can be found in parks and gardens throughout the urban core, but they still provide a workout: Tallahassee is Florida’s hilliest city.
