    There will be no crabbing during a TreeTops vacation.
No Crabbing
There will be plenty of parks and recreational sites to visit. Bald Point State Park, St. Marks, and Wakulla Springs are the nearest. However, day trips to St. George Island and Alfred B. Maclay State Gardens are also highly recommended. Read on...

Bald Point Board Walk
Bald Point
Bald Point State Park is just a short walk or bike ride from TreeTops. At Bald Point you can follow a boardwalk out over a marsh and view a Bald Eagle's Nest across the way. Along with bird watching, swimming, fishing, and picnicking are activities you might enjoy at the park.

St. Marks Wildlife Refuge covers 66,000 acres and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. If you're lucky, you might see alligators, salamanders, turtles, armadillos, muskrats, and foxes. This is also a wonderful birdwatching area. During the fall and spring migration periods, an accomplished birder can spot as many as 140 species a day. The picture below show a few of the thousands of monarch butterflies that migrate through this area every fall.

One of the Many Birds at Wakulla Springs
Dinner Time? Wakulla Springs is one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world. Wakulla is a Seminole Creek word that means "strange and mysterious waters".
Wakulla Springs is one of our favorite places to visit, you can take a boat tour and see alligators, rare birds, and wildlife up close. You'll also hear stories of Old Joe the alligator, Henry the pole-vaulting fish, and the early Tarzan movies that were filmed here.
