Further down the road , you ’ ll find Tate ’ s Hell State Forest , a 212,000-acre park that offers visitors a rare glimpse of what this part of Florida was like before the arrival of Europeans . Part swampland , part forest , part floodplain , part prairie , this ecological treasure is home to all manner of regional wildlife , including Florida black bear , bald eagles , gopher tortoise , and the red-cockaded woodpecker . There are 35 miles of rivers , streams , and creeks navigable by a shallow-draft boat such as a canoe or johnboat . An onsite boat launch offers easy access to waterways .
