It's been a few years since I hiked in Lake Wales Ridge State Forest. I hiked the entire trail that runs along Lake Arbuckle. There are a lot of hunters that hunt wild hogs in that forest. I saw a Bald Eagle, and a large wild bee hive along that trail. Lake Kissimmee State Park is also a nice place to hike, as is Avon Park Bombing Range. I always look forward to free orange juice at the Florida Naturals plant in the Frostproof Lake Wales area on US 27.
Looks like a great place for a hike. Such a pretty Florida blue sky day. The history of the area is super interesting. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a happy and and fun adventures!
This is my stomping ground. I was born in Lake Wales, and grew up in Frostproof. I took my '73 Yamaha 360 Enduro along deer trails in many places in the Frostproof/Lake Wales area. I spent many days as a Boy Scout at Flaming Arrow Scout camp. I also spent many weekends camping at the County Park at Lake Arbuckle - more than I spent at home. (The white sand you see in the video is called 'sugar sand')
What’s your opinion on Catfish Creek State Park? It’s my favorite state park so far 😃😃 I love how nature set it up to be ❤️ it’s challenging because of all sand but I always love getting up to the Allen Brosuard statue
you mean that the sea level was higher than today in the past-oh my how can that bee-we are all supposed to die in 12 years from climate change which will cause the sea level to rise cause aoc says so if we all dont buy a electric car that runs off lpg or coal-hmmmm- i guess i am skeptical since i was born on east hwy 60 outside of lake wales and used to find sharks teeth walking the rr tracks to the bus stop-

My kids love learning while watching your video. My kids are home schooled by my wife. During snack break we watch you and love every minute.
Robert Price thanks so much I’m glad to hear that!
I’m so glad all this history is still around, hope it will be here for future generations.
I hope so as well!

Fascinating information. Nicely done!
There's a old mound where I lived in New Jersey on the great bay where they gathered oysters
mac22 sailor did you know the Statue of Liberty was built on a midden/mound? That area was once mounds long ago
@@FLtrailblazer I did not 👍
Thanks for including some mounds in your journeys!! This is so fascinating
First one here, that’s the fl I grew up in. That ridge runs thru lake placid fl. We use to camp on lake arbuckel with my granny and papa.
Thank you for watching so happy to inspire memories that must've been amazing!
So Lake Arbuckle could be the remnants of the ocean when Florida was submerged except the lake Wales ridge.
I like this video very much.

Those pottery fragment are pretty significant.
Beautiful! Come to shired island in Dixie county next!
Great stuff as usual! Like the shirt!
Lake wales state park in Florida is where my grandpa tragically shot himself last summer. He will be missed forever
What do these mounds mean? Were they a sort of landfill, ancient compost heap?
@@justynjonn I have no clue
Sorry for your loss wavy Mac.
Nice :)
Build condos. Kidding.
What lake was that
Arbuckel
