Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp and the park offers numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing and bird watching.Native Americans visited the area to take advantage of the great fishing and hunting that the Econfina River and the Gulf Coast provided.

Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, off-road bicycling or horseback on 14.8 miles of wooded trails - or drift along the river in a kayak, canoe or boat. Trails lead to a panoramic view of coastal Florida where lush islands and sand dunes left from a bygone era dot the horizon.The Econfina River empties into the Gulf of Mexico 2.2 miles south of the park’s boat ramp. Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp and the park offers numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing and bird watching.Native Americans visited the area to take advantage of the great fishing and hunting that the Econfina River and the Gulf Coast provided. Since then people continue to enjoy the park's easy access to the bountiful Gulf of Mexico fish and natural resources. In 1989, the property opened as a state park to forever preserve the natural areas found within this 4,528 acre park.ExperiencesBicyclingOff-road bicycling is available along the 14.8 miles of trails. Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.BirdingThere are many different species of birds to view at the park which include mallard ducks, great blue herons and red-tailed hawks. You may encounter numerous shore and wading birds along the river or see Ospreys, Bald eagles, and countless songbird species while on the hiking/nature trail. BoatingThe Econfina River offers a variety of salt and fresh water fishing. Econfina River provides direct access to Apalachee Bay. The Econfina River is not suited for water skiing or kneeboarding/wakeboarding. There are numerous limestone rock outcroppings that make navigation challenging.PaddlingThe Econfina River offers a variety of salt and fresh water fishing. There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen as you drift or paddle down the river.FishingFishing is allowed in designated areas and both fresh and salt water fish can be caught in the river. All fishing within the park must conform to regulations concerning size, number, method of capture and season. A fishing license may be required.

Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, off-road bicycling or horseback on 14.8 miles of wooded trails - or drift along the river in a kayak, canoe or boat. Trails lead to a panoramic view of coastal Florida where lush islands and sand dunes left from a bygone era dot the horizon.The Econfina River empties into the Gulf of Mexico 2.2 miles south of the park’s boat ramp. Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp and the park offers numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing and bird watching.Native Americans visited the area to take advantage of the great fishing and hunting that the Econfina River and the Gulf Coast provided. Since then people continue to enjoy the park's easy access to the bountiful Gulf of Mexico fish and natural resources. In 1989, the property opened as a state park to forever preserve the natural areas found within this 4,528 acre park.ExperiencesBicyclingOff-road bicycling is available along the 14.8 miles of trails.

Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, off-road bicycling or horseback on 14.8 miles of wooded trails - or drift along the river in a kayak, canoe or boat. Trails lead to a panoramic view of coastal Florida where lush islands and sand dunes left from a bygone era dot the horizon.The Econfina River empties into the Gulf of Mexico 2.2 miles south of the park’s boat ramp. Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp and the park offers numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing and bird watching.Native Americans visited the area to take advantage of the great fishing and hunting that the Econfina River and the Gulf Coast provided. Since then people continue to enjoy the park's easy access to the bountiful Gulf of Mexico fish and natural resources. In 1989, the property opened as a state park to forever preserve the natural areas found within this 4,528 acre park.ExperiencesBicyclingOff-road bicycling is available along the 14.8 miles of trails. Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.BirdingThere are many different species of birds to view at the park which include mallard ducks, great blue herons and red-tailed hawks.

Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp and the park offers numerous opportunities for wildlife viewing and bird watching.Native Americans visited the area to take advantage of the great fishing and hunting that the Econfina River and the Gulf Coast provided. Since then people continue to enjoy the park's easy access to the bountiful Gulf of Mexico fish and natural resources. In 1989, the property opened as a state park to forever preserve the natural areas found within this 4,528 acre park.ExperiencesBicyclingOff-road bicycling is available along the 14.8 miles of trails.
