Clean, cold air conditioned rooms after a long day on the water is great. They offer a nice bait/ship store with super friendly people. We enjoy renting their 24' center consoles. They're super fast, stable, easy to operate, and reliable. Not only can some of our group find scallops but others fish for trout while we drift along the grassy flats of St. Marks. Other amenities include a covered fillet station with running fresh water, trailer parking, joining rooms, etc... Tip: Try to book a cottage. Two rooms and a screened porch but they book very early in the season. Also, if you see the cute little otter swimming around while your filleting your fish, toss him a few fish scraps. Adorable!

We were there for around an hour but it was literally nothing but the same trees for miles. I compared it to one of those fun houses at fairs where it's all Mirrors and you're looking at the same thing. We turned back around because it just got so repetitive. There was no body of water or other types of trees around.

This is an official state park, but they obviously didn't have much money for this one. That may be…read moreintentional to keep use down on a sensitive area. Facilities consist of a simple parking area, a small area designated for horse trailer parking, 2 old wood picnic tables that have seen better days and a little signage. There are no bathroom facilities. The draw here would be the trails which go north all the way to the northernmost boundary of the property at US 27S. I'll leave it to the hikers, bikers or horse riders to rate this park for the value of the trails. For this more sedentary user there wasn't anything worthwhile. I am glad they preserved a major section of the St. Marks River area for us. If you look this park up on the Florida State Parks website it is called St. Marks River Preserve State Park even though their sign at the park doesn't say that.

Despite…read morethe weather being not the greatest both times we went, he did everything he could to put us on the birds, even moving decoys in the middle of the rain so we could kill more birds. He even walked a half a mile with water going over his waders to get a blue bill I killed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants a guide who knows what he's doing and works his tail off to make it happen. Will 100% be coming back next season!!!

I wish when you were walking in they gave more instructions and required parents to watch small children closely as there are many touch tanks were small children could hurt the sea life. Probably not ideal for the animals, and the touch tanks and looking tanks are set up the same so kids are tempted to dip their hands in all of the tanks. It's a cool experience but I could see why people are concerned for the sea life that call this lab home.

This little place here…read moreon our gorgeous, forgotten coast is dedicated to so many invaluable missions when it comes to taking care of and preserving land as well as the creatures that dwell here whether they be on the land, in the sea or most comfortable in the air. It's very clear that everybody working here has such a heart and a passion for the reptiles, marine life, animals, birds, that they help in represent here in the community. This annual fundraiser for Gulf Specimen Marine Lab is such a fun way for all of us to try to drum up awareness & support for the mission here while getting to have a wonderful time playing dress up & bidding on really cool things at the silent auction. This year alone in our area they helped take care of hundreds of stunned sea turtles when the weather got well below what it typically is persistently for this area and that mission alone is more than worth heading over for a visit getting to learn about the wildlife in this area and supporting their endeavors! Not to mention the fact that there are so many, very interactive ways for both adults and kids to be entertained here while learning about our local wildlife & conservation!
