Once we reached the Outpost they had option to bike, canoe, take an airboat ride, or a tram ride. We rented bikes which we thought were quite expe... more on TripAdvisor

This place reminded me of Weeki Watchi, back in the 60's they were both probably good places to go, however because neither have had updates, there is very little to see and ... more on TripAdvisor
