Even though it was a super hot day, the mini line was a hit. Music could be played on a giant, brightly colored xylophone.

Oh yeah, there are covered picnic areas for gatherings! Enjoy!

A coworker from Palm Coast recommended this spot as our meet up point. It's 57-acres which features a playground, picnic pavilions, hiking and biking trails, shuffleboard, bocce ball and bird watching and (well-maintained) restrooms. There's even a bicycle maintenance station. A few benches are sprinkled throughout the path which came in handy for the senior citizen in our group for quick breaks. I wish I had a map though as we weren't quite sure which path would loop around back to our parking spot and Google maps wasn't as clear. At one point, our path lead us by the Matanzas River and we saw dolphins! We will have to come back with our bikes for more exploring.

It has multiple dual gate entries and it also has a double gated entry going from the big dog park to the small. Has a nice covered gazebo area that is buried amongst a bunch of old growth trees. It has a beautiful Lake that the dogs can easily access through a gate and they can swim and play to their hearts desire or you can keep your dog out of the water if you do not wish it to enjoy itself? There is a nice watering facility as soon as you come in the Dual gated entry and there is a nice concrete pathway that goes out to the picnic tables underneath that gazebo. There is a combination of grass and sand all around. And you park right next to the dog park.

I am an avid State Park fan here in Fl, so it's no surprise that this is a 5 star review! Once…read moreinside the park, there is a view of the intercoastal waterway, where the breeze was glorious. I did bug spray up as soon as I exited the car- which I highly recommend if the bloodsuckers like you. There is a screened in pavilion you can normally rent for events- closed right now due to Covid. There is a little dock a family was fishing from and a small watercraft launch, I can only imagine kayaking from here would be beautiful. Plenty of trails including a 7 miler to the next state park. We hiked back to the site of slave cabins- all that was left was the stone base of what was a hearth and fireplace. This site is a previous plantation. My heart aches when I see that they had slaves to run their sugar mill and also grew and processed indigo- which was highly poisonous to those working directly with extracting the dye from the plant. A death sentence for those assigned that job. I know this from a previous tour at another plantation. I am happy that that part of our history is in the past and I hope we continue to learn from those times and never repeat the mistakes of the past. The ruins are further down the road, the hiking trail back was closed (probably due to high water levels). This area was swarming with mosquitos- I reapplied bug spray for good measure- just dip me in deet. This however was my favorite part~ my inner-artist took hold and I ran rampart taking pictures. We were lucky that we toured the ruins by ourselves. No one else was out there while we explored. I easily spent 45 minutes just snapping pictures. Probably more than you would need. The average person would probably only spend 15-20 minutes walking around and reading the information boards. There is a building off to the side that has tools and things recovered from the area. I love that you can walk through the ruins on a sidewalk that is chained off from you entering into any of the structures- preserving what remains, but allowing you a special glimpse from "inside" the ruins. I recently visited another park that had the large ruins completely closed off- only external views. So this was a treat. You could spend as little as 45 minutes going through this park or spend the day hiking and picnicking. Go visit and enjoy the history and views.

The park is actually split in two - divided by picturesque Florida Highway A1A (a gem in itself). The ocean side has a honor system pay box where you deposit $5 for the day, and place a numbered stub on your dashboard. The Intracoastal side has a ranger station, staffed by very friendly and informative park rangers. We ended up picking up a yearly family pass for $120. This allows up to eight people to access any of Florida's 175 State Parks. Gamble Rogers is immaculately clean and well-maintained. The picnic areas on the Intracoastal side are particularly nice! The boat ramp and kayak launching areas are very nice as well. Bathrooms were impeccably tidy - something that's always appreciated! We spent some time walking on the Joe Kenner Nature trail, and saw lots of wildlife. There are many campsites here (on both sides). We did not check out these areas because the roads were marked "for registered campers only." My only disappointment was that the beachside public walkover to the beach itself was closed - presumably due to storm damage. Hopefully this gets opened soon, as the only was to access the Gamble Rogers SP Beach would be to utilize one of the several walkovers in the beachside campground (not sure if this is allowed - will ask next time I'm there). Can't wait to go back - a super-nice State Park that is only a few minutes from my home.
