Paynes Prairie is Florida's first State Preserve.  It is 23,000 acres full of wildlife such as gators, bison, horses, over 300 species of birds, and much more.  The feature which makes it a wet prairie rather than a lake is the Alachua Sink where the water from the prairie flows into the Floridan Aquifer.  In this episode, we talk about some of the more notable features and things to see as well as nearby Price's Scrub.
