We started out on New Year's Day to go to a state park but missed the exit and ended up at another one instead - O'Leno - just outside of Gainesville in High Springs. Very nice park, nice facilities, cabins to rent. We hiked a trail along the Sante Fe River and what is interesting is that in this park, the river submerges and stays submerged for 3 miles and reappears. We saw both where it submerges and then where it rises. If you did not know, you could never tell. However we enjoyed the park, nice and quiet.
Gill is so good at holding the camera out to take our picture when there is no one else around, it was so peaceful and quiet there.
This is where the river submerges and then it travels underground for 3 miles. We met a couple there and they told us that this part usually looks a toilet flushing however the river is really low right now so you can not even tell that it is submerging.
This is where the river comes back up to to the ground, can't tell that. It is called RIVER RISE.
