A Bike N' Hike to Florida Indian Platform Mound and Midden
3 years ago

On this trip, we biked and hiked to an ancient Native American complex near the headwaters of the St. John's River. Pre-Columbian Floridians inhabited this region and later the Seminole Indians thrived along the river. This area of the St. John's has vast a floodplain and marsh where one can enjoy a spectacular view and see for miles. We encountered a variety of birds including red shoulder hawks, great blue heron, tanager, and others. We followed an old railroad tram and made our way down to the river. There were multiple paw paw trees. One can only imagine what is was like in ancient times. The natives must have enjoyed the sweet and savory fruit of the paw paw.
