Payne's Prairie is the only place in Florida where you can find alligators, bison, and horses roaming in the wild. It is a vast prairie that will flood in the rainy times of the year, so bring your boots if you plan on hiking. This is a great spot for bird watching, camping, hiking and fishing in the lake or creeks. Definitely worth visiting for a true sense of real Florida.
This was an awesome sight if you love wildlife. Otherwise there isn't much else to do. We went on a walk around the prairie and saw wild horses while a pack of buffalo blocked the rest of the trail. We also saw a variety of birds and weren't lucky enough to see any gators while we were there, though we heard plenty of stories. I was happy about that! We took some video footage and it was compromised, so we will be back again and I'll leave a more in depth review. All in all it was a well kept location!
