Open from 8 a.m. to sundown all year long, you can enjoy exploring this park’s sandy terrain, pine forests, limestone sinkhole, lush vegetation and miniature rainforest any day of the week. Bring a picnic and your four-legged friend (if a little dog hair in your backseat doesn't upset you) along for the ride, and if you wish to reserve a guided tour, call 386-462-7905 for more information.

Harn Museum of Art
The kids may not find the Harn Museum of Art particularly stirring, but you definitely will — especially since you chose a new Lincoln to make your own. Those with a love for fine art and history will appreciate the many exhibitions of the Harn. Over 13,000 works of art have made a home inside the museum, and you’ll also enjoy the museum store, cafe and gardens surrounding the building. Art collections are only available for a limited time, so be sure to check back often to ensure the exhibit you're most excited about isn't going away anytime soon.
Sweetwater Wetlands Park
Lincoln has always made sustainability a focus when it comes to vehicle performance. That's why it makes perfect sense to bring your new Lincoln to Sweetwater Wetlands Park. The park is a great way to connect with nature and better understand the environment. With more than 3.5 miles of crushed gravel trails and boardwalks, you can view local plants and animals, including birds, butterflies, alligators and Florida cracker horses. The park itself spans more than 125 acres of wetlands and ponds, so if you like spending quality time outdoors, visit the Sweetwater Wetlands Park today.
Kanapaha Botanical Gardens
Bring your new Lincoln to the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, a nonprofit botanical garden with 24 collections accessible on a 1.5-mile paved walkway. You'll enjoy the state's largest public display of bamboo and the Southeast's largest herb garden as you stroll about. You may see a bride from time to time — the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens is a popular wedding venue, as well as an ideal choice for other social functions, like meetings, retreats and conferences. Want to view the most color? Come during June through September for vibrant hues, and be sure to bring a picnic basket and your leashed dog along for the walk, too.
Depot Park
Have any kiddos? Bring them in your new Lincoln to the Depot Park. They'll enjoy the splash pad during the summer and the Cade Museum for interactive, hands-on learning. The Depot Park also includes a playground, a paved walkway along the pond, a pavilion for picnics and barbecues, and various concerts and events on The Hill.
