     Watson Prairie is not the only place close by, Lochloosa Lake is a close by lake, and swamps can be such exciting places, stop at Mosquito Bay while you're here at Watson Prairie. The panorama of Garrison Hammock from Watson Prairie is wonderful; if you're a golfer then a nice nearby course is Gator Landing Golf Club & Camp Ground. High temperatures at Watson Prairie through the warm days of summer are in the 90's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the  
   70's. The winter comes with highs in the 60's, and throughout the dark hours in the winter at Watson Prairie temperatures dip to the 40's. You'll meet a lot of folks from Gainesville here, and after a long day outdoors Econo Lodge University is a tremendous spot to spend a night or two.
Watson Prairie gets much water; August is the wettest month with most rain, and October meanwhile is the driest month. If you came for an overnight stay Sportman's Cove
 
               is a magnificent location to camp. This lake is so wonderful. Do schedule some time to stop at Allens Point close to Watson Prairie if you have a chance, and why not camp at Ranch Motel and Camping Park if you're here at Watson Prairie.
Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff near Watson Prairie. If you get bored of Watson Prairie, you could also visit nearby Little Lochloosa Lake; if you need a place to stay Residence Inn Gainesville is a good choice.
