I am still fairly new to Ocala (3 or 4 years) and I love it here. I am trying to get pictures of different aspects of the city so that I can put them together with music making a video to upload to my website.
So far I have the Appleton Art Museum, Downtown square and Silver Springs, but there is soooooo much more to get pictures of as far as features here in Ocala. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Places so far on my list to go:
The new outdoor mall.
A few of the Lakes in the area

Also, does anyone know who offers horse back riding? The girls really would love to go, and I know there are trails, but I don't know who does the rentals/trail rides anymore.

Thanks for the help!

Have you thought about Geocaching? Get a portable GPS and sign up for free. You will get to see areas you never knew were there in the county. Plust a little bit of adventure with a moden treasure hunt theme. Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

Hi ash!

Are you looking for just downtown Ocala or the entire area?

There is a place that has riding on 475... I believe it is just north, on the east side of 475, directly past SE 110th St. There is also a place heading out to the Forest on RT 42 (going toward Umatilla). My daughter always wants to go riding too!

Wink Really great suggestions

My home is in Ocala, do you happen to have a phone number or name for one of those places? They sound great, have you been there before? If you don't have a phone number that's cool, I will take a ride out there.
Yes, I mean all of Ocala, everyone probably has a favorite place they visit regularly, and I was curious as to what they are. With my family, anything with water is great! We go to Wild Waters, and Jervey Gant pool (spelling?), pretty regularly, but not everyone is interested in swimming and playing in water, so what does everyone else like to do in Ocala?

The geocaching looks like fun, but I don't have a gps, my mom does, maybe I could borrow hers (I don't think she uses very often).

Thanks!
Andrea

I'm buying a Canon XSi camera with a 55mm-250mm upgrade lens. I can't wait to scour the county for cool pics...

On State Road 200 immediately west of I-75. Some tennants have taken up residence although the vast majority of the mall is vacant and likely will be for quite some time.
