We hope you enjoy our new series, Walk-About Wednesday. In this series we will feature many things to do near Windsor Hills: because Orlando is more than theme parks, and And Florida is more than beaches.!
Sometimes the best moments are the ones where nothing is planned and everything is possible.
🌿 Explore Shingle Creek – Where the Real Florida Still Lives 🌿
Just 15 minutes from the theme park madness is a place so calm, you might wonder if you stepped into a different world altogether.
Welcome to Shingle Creek.
It’s not a thrill ride. It’s not a show.
But it is pure Florida — shady trails, slow-flowing water, turtles sunning on logs, birds overhead, and the quiet that hits like a deep breath.
🌳 Whether you're into hiking, wildlife spotting, kayaking, or just finding a peaceful place to reconnect as a family, Shingle Creek delivers. There’s even a charming boardwalk that’s stroller-friendly for the little explorers.
✨ The best part? It’s free to park, free to walk, and full of memory-making potential. Kayak rentals are available if you want to hit the water, but you could just as easily bring a snack, find a bench, and soak in the stillness.
📍 Just off 192 in Kissimmee – super easy to find, no reservations needed.
🎒 Bring bug spray, water, and your curiosity.
