I can't stress enough how valuable it is to purchase an annual SP pass, Florida has so many beautiful parks if you are traveling across the state this annual pass will more than pay for itself. Visiting this park during the off season was especially rewarding, no crowds so we practically had the entire beach to ourselves, the white sugar sand and clear warm water was the perfect place to be on a warm fall day. Although shelling was a disappointment the abundance of wildlife and native plants more than made up for it. This is definitely a state park I'd return too, maybe spend a few days here in the RV when in the area...

Parking was easy and plentiful. The house is pretty and the trees surrounding it are really cool. You can tour the house but we did not do that since we had little kids with us. There's a small gift shop where the tours start. There's a fountain in front of the house with koi in it but the water was full of algae. It was really hard to see the fish. I felt bad for them. There's a butterfly garden on the side of the house and we did see butterflies, dragonflies, bees and even a little frog. You can walk out on a pier over the water. There are picnic areas there of you would like to bring a lunch. Some of the water areas have warnings about gators and the trails have warnings about bears. Fortunately we did not run into either.

Tammy is such a…read moreknowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating person to work with, and we loved chatting with her before and after our ride. She gave us several great suggestions of places to get put in to the water, and we settled on getting in at the Point Washington boat ramp. This was a perfect space to spend our morning, and I'd highly recommend getting an early start to avoid the hottest part of the day. The bikes were great, and the adjustable seats and shoe straps on the pedals were easy to manage! Getting in and out of the bikes the first time takes some getting used to, but is easy to do once you feel comfortable! We explored the area and pedaled in and out of several bayous and creeks. While it in the open water of the bay, we watched an osprey hunt for fish, which was a huge highlight of the trip! We ended our trip with a visit to Eden Gardens State Park, which is a must see! The park is right by where we were dropped off and has lovely public restrooms and water fountains. Bring lots of sunscreen and water!

I ran about five miles of them from 283 to 83, then on west of 83. The trails are mostly single track sand trails with some roots, but few other obstacles. I ran, but most people could easily hike these trails without difficulty. The vegetation is low, which makes it easy to see. I really enjoyed this. In addition to the single track trails, there are also service roads that you could explore if you wanted more distance. The biggest issue that there were some segments that were completely flooded and required mid-calf wading to cross. One section is just west of 83, and the other was about 2 miles west of 283 or 1 mile East of 83. My shoes were totally soaked, but it was still fun. Just be prepared if there has been a lot of rain. The forest was pretty quiet. I only saw two other people, and a random pair of black New Balance shoes just off the side of the trail. I would love to know their story! This is a great place to explore! Highly recommend!

It's peaceful. I paddle the channel that leads to the Gulf with amazing reflections on the water. I paddle the cove around the private docks. I see crab pots and an occasional gator observing me - an intruder. The first time I paddled here I pulled my board up on the sand and walked over to the Gulf, but when I came back, my board was gone. The water rose very quickly and my board was pulled out into the channel. So I swam out and got it and learned a lesson about how quickly the water level can change. It's all of this, the diversity of looks and the complexity of it, that make it my favorite place to paddle.

My family and I spent a couple hours at the beach. It is a great place to paddleboard or swim. There is a man-made reef about one or two football fields out. You can get to it by going to the yellow poles on the beach and swimming directly out. If the poles appear to be one you are going the right way, if you can see both poles then you are off course. There was a group of kayakers out there doing a tour when I was there so I swam out and joined them. It was fun but I don't recommend anyone who didn't competitively swim to do that. The waves can be big and a paddleboard or kayak would have been safer. Once you get out to the reef there is so much wildlife. Lots of fish and even sea turtles!!
