What a lovely park. Clean no debris. Trails were lovely and easy to walk. My sister and I spent the morning there enjoying a perfect day in Florida. I guess the only thing bad was there wasn’t a bathroom once you got out into the park. But that was a minor complaint.

We liked the trails we walked. Loop road after camp store is one way. Very nice slow speed drive. Had to pull the park's map from the state website. Found the loop road, the cam sites, camp store, CCC museum, and more, but some of the icons were confusing .

This was a lovely park. Went on a Tuesday so there weren't many people there. You can see how the weekends would be super busy though. They have tram rides and bike rentals, camping areas, playgrounds, bike paths and walking paths. The walking trails are very well marked, clear and easy to navigate. No worries of getting lost or even off the path. The trails are all relatively short and mostly shaded. We did the entire park within a few hours. That being said, the place was beautiful. There were so many old trees and even an old growth forest area. The trees were so big and gorgeous. There was a Cyprus swamp area that felt other worldly. The one disappointment was that the catwalk was closed so our trek through the Cyprus swamp was on the main boardwalk only. We did see a lot of animals including 3 alligators, a bobcat, and lots of interesting birds. Right outside of the park we saw turkeys, cows, and some wild hogs. It's a nice place for easy peaceful walks, with restrooms, benches, and even a small shop.

A great park with a lot of short hikes to do and a ton of biodiversity. We didn’t manage to see any gators but we did see a water moccasin. Be sure to check out the store on your way out to get the homemade key like, orange and tootsie roll ice cream!

We really enjoyed our short stay at the park's campground despite the lack of any privacy on the campsite (106). We had neighbors on all 4 sides. So close that I felt like I couldn't even fart outside my camper. The trails are fantastic. We enjoyed walking our dogs & cycling in various areas of the park. We are pleased that they are closing to rework the campground area to eliminate sites. Hoping this will improved the camping experience once they reopen. All the staff was friendly, and the park was clean. We were also surprised that given the number of occupied campsites and their proximity to each other, folks were respectfully quiet compared to many campgrounds we frequent. We saw many kinds of wildlife including deer, a tortoise, a family of boar, a hawk, and ibis. We'll definitely be back once they reopen.
