Secret River
Lodge
The essence of "Old Florida"
beckons from seven restored
cabins along the shady banks
of Cross Creek.

The sleepy settlement lies beside
a creek (below) that runs between
two large lakes. It achieved fame
upon release of a motion
picture of the same
name in the '80s.

Next to the cabins is the Yearling
Restaurant, also a Florida Secret
opened in 1952. The magic
of Cross Creek and the area
must be experienced.
