Otter Springs RV Resort ~ Area Attractions & Information
Links
Pure Water Wilderness formed to promote nature-based tourism
in Gilchrist, Dixie & Levy Counties. Their site is full of information
about places to go and things to do: diving, swimming,
snorkeling, horseback riding, cycling, paddling, boating, fishing
and hunting.
The Suwannee River Wilderness Trail is a 207 mile pathway of
managed wilderness experiences. A joint effort of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, Suwannee River Water
Management District and the counties and citizens in the area.
Area state parks are featured in the site.
Nature Coast State Trail nearly brushes the southern edge of
Otter Springs RV Resort. The 31.7 mile hiking and biking path
was built over old railroad tracks. Near Otter Springs, the path
crosses over the Suwannee on an old train trestle, offering a
spectacular view.
This website sponsored by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection is full of information about Florida's
hundreds of natural springs.
Visit the Gilchrist Chamber's website for
information on tourism, shopping, local
churches, or stop by our Office and pick
up a Gilchrist Guide.
There are dozens of great places to go in the local area when you've finished your hike or swim.
One of our favorites is the Suwannee Valley Quilt Shoppe, home to the quaint Cypress Swamp
Cafe'. Here you can take a quilting class and enjoy some antique and crafts shopping. Just
down the street past the old train station is the Suwannee Valley Art Gallery & Stained Glass
Works, with wonderful artisan crafts, lovely artwork and stained glass workshops. 409 N. Main
Street, 352-463-3841.
For a quick round of golf, try the Chiefland Golf and Country Club, 9650 NW 115th St., Chiefland,
