Thanks for finding this site and for being a visitor. I hope you return many times. I am a transplant to Polk County (Winter Haven) Florida from the Pacific NW and love exploring all the magnificent parks and trails. My desire is to offer other outdoor enthusiasts or newcomers to the area a glimpse of all that can be enjoyed here.
Keep in mind all comments, perspectives and photos are my own and my experiences are interpreted through my many filters of love for and recreating in the outdoors. I’ve kayaked and fished in the Canadian Pacific, swam and fished in the Canadian Maritimes cold Atlantic, hiked many trails in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, trekked in the Himalayas and have seen, walked or jogged in many locations in the US states of New England, the Pacific Northwest and on my drive from Idaho to Florida.
It takes time to explore all the parks in Polk County and I’m excited about my adventure of discovery! I encourage you to set a goal for yourself in your own discovery of Polks Parks; blog about it (like I do); to share your experiences and findings online via social media or join a group and explore with them.
Locally, you may enjoy the Florida Trail Association and their local chapter, the Heartland Chapter. Here is their FB page as well. If you like hands-on participation and contributing to your community, this is the Association to join.

When hiking/walking any trail in Polk County, you will see me with walking poles. To be exact: Nordic Walking Poles as they bump up the calorie output of my activity, tone my core and upper body and provide my ankles and feet with stability. If you would be interested in exploring the benefits and have a hands-on experience, contact me:
