This was recommended as a hike to do with children. My opinion is it is mostly for mountain biking…read moreand adults. We tried going the Old Plank Trail and the Waterfall Loop. It was extremely difficult to push a stroller through both trails. There were tree routes, homeless camp debris, and steep drop offs for mountain biking. We never made it to the waterfall because the trails were poorly marked, and we kept going on trails where the brush was hard to go through. There is a bathroom and picnic tables, with maps of the trails, but I would recommend using Alltrails or Strava for guidance.

There is no shortage of things to do. The City recently redid the playground space and restrooms. My most recent visit included a tour of the nature center, which I hadn't ever visited when it was open. There have a wonderful selection of exhibits and small reptiles. The staff was so generous and informative.

Great spot to check out if you want to paddle board, kayak, fish*, take the jet ski out, etc…read more Parking can be a bit hectic depending on the day, and time of arrival, but we always manage to find a spot to park. There's one port a potty, and a covered pavilion with picnic tables. I'm not sure if the pavilion requires a reservation or not. There's a canoe ramp but leading up to it will be a crowd of people fishing, most of the time. It's better to launch from the unpaved boat ramp to avoid the chaos there. The fishing can be done from the bridge, or on the rocks, which honestly isn't the greatest. If you don't mind standing in the water while fishing there's a path on the opposite side that requires a bit of rock stepping but I've seen some people catch fish over there before. FWC does frequent this park so make sure you have your license and ready to show them what you are keeping.

This was the first place i ever went kayaking in Jax, and I say again this is an AWESOME location…read moreif you looking to do a short 2.5hr kayak or canoe trip. there is ample parking and the street actually dead-ends into the water. There is a boat launch here but it is in a separate location of the canoe launch. After I arrived me and a buddy decided to head upstream to the West on Fishweir Creek. The paddle was about an hour and ten minutes and the turn around point is just past the Timuquana Rd. bridge. I think its pretty cool to paddle all the way up into some of these small creeks where the water depth is only 6 inches and you still have yet to bottom out your yak or canoe. The paddle back was around 50mins. **Just be aware that if you do decide to paddle to the East out into the Ortega River that the wind, waves and currents get a little rougher as it was also difficult paddling through all the boat wake as well. Lots of birds and other wildlife though on the creek. Seen tons Blue Heron and White Egrets, if your quiet enough you can get close enough for some great photos.

It's right next to Ft Caroline Timucuan Park so you can see the fort to the right if you ride your boat to the east of the pier. At the left you will see the houses on Heckscher Drive.
