Florence

Darlingtonia State Natural Site

Located eight miles north of Florence, Darlingtonia is an educational experience. Stop and view the carnivorous plants from the boardwalk trail. It's the only place in the state that has been set aside for the plants. Insects are lured into the plant and then digested. Flush toilets, picnic tables and plenty of parking makes this a great place to stop and stretch. Vital stats: No fee to use this park. For information, call 1-800-551-6949. Darlingtonia offers opportunities for viewing native plants.
