As with most of Florida, Tallahassee is surrounded by exotic landscapes and striking living creatures. To the south of the city lies Wakulla Springs State Park, which reveals its underwater treasure troves of prehistoric bones of giant sloths, camels and armadillos, along with the fish and reptiles who call these calcified remains home. Even more to the south is St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, one of the oldest wildlife refuges in the country. Established in the 1930s to provide a home for the multitudes of migratory birds who flock to Florida each winter, the refuge encompasses coastal marshes, islands and estuaries. Fishing, bird watching and hiking are some of the most popular things to do in this area.
