Arlington

Arlington

Don't be fooled. At first glance, Arlington may seem like little more than typical suburbia.

But on its outskirts, the 46,000-acre Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve continues to be heralded by as one of the most beautiful and magical natural settings. Make sure to stop at Tree Hill Nature Center or Fort Caroline National Park, established in 1564 by French Huguenots. Bring your gear for the biking and hiking trails in the parks.
