At Elinor Klapp Phipps Park, the woodlands and fields within the park are typical of the hundreds of old quail hunting plantations found here in the Red Hills region of north Florida. The uplands were heavily disturbed by agricultural activity into the early part of this century and are now recovering, due, in part, to later management of the property as a game hunting preserve. The wetlands, bottomlands, and steep slopes were historically less disturbed and have a primeval, old-growth appearance, especially along Coonbottom Run. Overall, the property exhibits high habitat and species diversity. One the high points of the hike is a scenic stroll along the edge of Lake Jackson, an large and unusual lake that vanishes every 25 years or so into a sinkhole only to reappear a year or two later.
The park is along Meridian Rd (CR 155) north of Tallahassee, north of I-10.
