Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway Travel Guide app for iPhone and iPad

Discover Wild Florida! The Florida Black Bear Scenic byway passes through the heart of the Ocala National forest, and features 6 world-class natural springs. This travel guide will show you the way to enjoy authentic Florida. One of Floridas oldest amusement parks is formed around Silver Springs, the worlds largest first magnitude spring, and features glass-bottom boats for a better view. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings gathered stories of local people along this byway, and the Yearling Trail is named for her Pulitzer-prize winning novel. Much of the history along the byway rivals the Wild West, but is less known.
Access maps even when the signal drops out (and on this byway, it will...welcome to nature.)

This guide helps you decide what kind of byway traveler you would like to be. Quickly find things to do, see, know, or what services are available on the map. If you have a signal and an iPhone, you can get step by step mapping instructions from where you are to any point on the map (new feature for Nomad apps.)
