This is the Leon County Rest Area along I-10 East at Mile Marker 194. It is located just a few miles west of Tallahassee, which is the state's capital. When you come in, trucks will go straight to the left, while cars will go to the right and circle around the rest area. Like all rest areas in Florida, they are open 24 hours a day. My visit here was on August 26, 2022.
After traveling for a few hours, it was time to take another break. This rest area would be that place to stop for us. Of course, the restrooms would be the first item to complete on the docket. Just like the other rest stops in the state, this one was no different. The restrooms were clean and well maintained, so nobody should be pissed about them (pun intended). There were some maintenance workers on site at the time of the visit. One thing to note is that those that smoke, this is a non-smoking facility, but there are some designated areas for it further from the building. Vending machines are also available onsite.
The rest area also has outdoor space to walk around for yourself, and even an area for your pets to do their business too. They also have several picnic areas to rest and have a snack or something along those lines. Overnight parking is available at this rest area and does have security on site as well, even overnight.
Overall, this was a very nice rest area. I didn't stick around too long since we were almost to our end point for that night, which would be in Lake City, FL. There was plenty of open space outside. With having well maintained restrooms and even maintenance on site, this is a great rest area to take a break before having to go through Tallahassee. read more
