Take some time out from concrete-filled cities at Santa Fe Lake. This is an ideal place to get some fresh air, relax and simply appreciate the views.

If you're traveling on a shoestring, you'll be happy to learn that this body of water doesn't have an admission fee. Want to know what else there is to see in or around Alachua County? Pay a visit to Greathouse Butterfly Farm. It's close to Santa Fe Lake and is also a traveler favorite.
