Reviews
The wilderness area here is currently closed. Lots of trash and trails are overgrown/underwater. I'll try visiting again when it is officially open and it hasn't rained in a while. The view of the lake from the boat ramp is nice, saw a couple alligators.
This is a beautiful park with a small pavilion. Most of the entertainment here is of the natural variety with hikes on the unpaved trails, views of the lake, watching the boats coming in and going out. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative.
Water may contain bacteria was posted. Simple boat ramp, not much else here.
Great Park! Very pretty, right on the water, and uncrowded.
The trail was unkempt
Would have walked a trail but because of a recent rain, the trails were closed.
Beautiful morning, noon, and night. There are tons of alligators that you can see in the water, along with wild boars. When I went in April part of the area was wet and ended up soaking through my shoes and socks. Older kid friendly, some of the trail is kid friendly. I very much recommend proper footwear if going during Florida's wet season.
Right look, right sighting, and caught some fish also. That is the best*
Sort of a park, more geared toward boating. No restrooms.
Nice parking lot and boat ramp for Lake Jesup. Covered picnic benches. Trash receptacles available. No restrooms on site.
