The truth is, Florida doesn’t have too many scenic overlooks, likely because we don’t have much elevation change throughout the state. But what we may lack in elevation, we certainly make up for in natural beauty. For instance, Green Mountain Scenic Overlook in Minneola, Florida offers tons of wide-open scenery, hiking trails, and some of the best views you’ll find in the central part of the state.

Tucked away in Minneola, Florida is a hiking and biking trail known as the Green Mountain Scenic Overlook.

Even if you don’t hike the entire trail but just stick to the overlook opportunities, it’s guaranteed to be a rewarding time nevertheless.
