An absolutely beautiful place with blue springs, wildlife and fun in nature. The boardwalk was amazing! Dogs were not allowed on the boardwalk however my husband and I took turns. The park ranger did allow my dog to swim at the canoe ramp with a leash and you could wade out. Don’t miss this incredible place.

It was not slammed with a ton of people, cute, quiet park with nice trails. Great picnicking areas. Dog friendly through most of the park. We rented a canoe (no dogs 🙁) and saw at least 100 turtles, 3 alligators, 3 manatees, lots of birds. If we are ever in the area again we will visit again.

This is an amazing park. We were able to see a manatees x 4, an alligator in the swimming area, a red shoulder hawk and a mom deer and her two babies. We went on a 4 mile hike on the the scenic trail. Our hound dog caught some scents and went a little nuts. A really great day and perfect weather. You can’t take your dog on the boardwalk but it’s only 800 feet and you can easily take turns holding your dog. This park is awesome!!!!!
