One of the greatest ways to decompress on weekends is to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. While Florida does have some pretty magical places to do just that, there are some that can bring an entirely different feeling of peace. Take the Oakland Nature Preserve in Florida as the perfect example. This 128-acre preserve just 30 minutes from Orlando is a welcoming spot to get a front-row seat to what nature in Florida has to offer.

The Oakland Nature Preserve in Florida is a hidden gem located in the small town of Oakland.
