I feel like this old idea of Florida being this flat boring state must change.
The only real Flat Parts of Florida is primarily South Of Lake Okeechobee.
Everything North of the Lake has many towns and rural areas with many rolling hills.
As Well as distinctive high points like Iron Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, Chinsegut Hill, Bailey Hill, Munden Hill, which all these high points are well over 250 plus feet in elevation.
Now I'm not saying FL got mountains like the Mid west or the northeast, but Florida (at least the Central and Northern part) of the state is far from being flat.

Anyone know of any other high points in the State of Florida that I didn't mention?
If so please feel free to add names, directions, address, and pictures. I'd like to use this form to educated others about a side of Florida that's been a hidden a gem for many years.

Pasco and Hernando Counties have decent hills. There are actually some caves too!

Northern Pinellas County also has some hills. They’re not that big, but I find them interesting because they’re pretty close to the Gulf.

I know Ocala and Gainesville have Cliffs and Canyons, so hearing about cave actually doesn't surprise me. Although I'd love to hear and see more about the caves.

Clermont, Minneola, Leesburg, Mount Dora, some areas of FL that give a nice north eastern feel, for those of us who come from the north east, and still want a little up north feel down south.

Florida is still flat... I think the more accurate title would be Florida isn't 100% flat lol.
