Adventure Sports

In Central Florida's Polk County

If adrenaline is what you crave, go on a thrill-seeking adventure in Central Florida's Lakes District. Soar like an eagle on a glider ride out of Davenport's Wallaby Ranch, or take part in a tandem jump at the Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales (video below). You'll fall 13,500 feet at 120 mph – if that's not a rush, nothing is.
