(Newswire.net — December 14, 2020) — Mariana, the City of Southern Charm settled along the outskirts of Florida to Alabama and a short drive west of Tallahassee. A short walk around Marianna’s charming and ancient downtown proves that title. Visit the triangulated courthouse park, with its gazebo, and the close-by monolith. You can also have a stopover at the 1890s buildings like Russ House and Visitor Center, a Classical Revival/Queen Anne home that are recorded on the National Register of Historic Places.

The plentiful natural excellence of Mariana and Jackson County makes the region a thriving spot for the eco-tourism lovers. Eco-tourism fans can explore the miles of spring-fed streams, lakes, and ponds. They would also paddle through the Chipola River by kayak or canoe. Florida Caverns State Park is also a must-see when you are on a vacation to Mariana. The Park is the only dry caverns in the state along a quarter-mile trail.

Moreover, the huge Lake Seminole is backed up with the biggest dam in Florida with Three Rivers State Park. The Bellamy Bridge Heritage Trail prompts the most seasoned scaffold of its sort in Florida, the point of convergence for one of Marianna’s most popular phantom stories. 

Best places to visit in Mariana

Spring Creek

Tourists often miss the beauty and pleasures along Highway 90 to the Spring Creek’s bridge. Most tourists often drive past without viewing what delights await underneath. A small parking area on the south side of the road is the location for individuals who are inflating floats, dropping kayaks, and strolling down a covered boardwalk to arrive at the cool and clear waters. A lock that frequently sends a downpour of hurrying water downstream adds an extra kick to the progression of the spring. It gives the tubers and rafters and kayakers a little push as they start a moderate, alleviating, and wandering buoy from the Spring Creek to the Chipola River about two miles away. From there also, about a two-mile walking to Magnolia Point. The journey can take nearly four hours. Have an imagination of buoying on the waterway.

Observe the north side of 90 where there is the Florida Caverns RV Resort. The resort offers extraordinary camping, paddling, kayaking, and swimming on crystal-clear Merritt’s Mill Pond that feeds Spring Creek. 

Lakes, Springs, and Underwater Caverns

Jackson County is distinguished for its abundance of springs and submerged caves. A few exercises are calm, while others would make most individuals feel uneasy. 

Florida Caverns State Park 

The Park is a US-owned park and part of the Florida State Parks system, situated in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. The only state park in Florida with air-filled caves for the public. The limestone caves in the recreation center have stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones caused by the erosion of bedrock. Different arrangements are over the ground, including waterways and springs. 

Accommodation

Securing the most suitable accommodation depends on a whole lot on your requirements. You might choose the downtown Marianna area near attractions.
