Some call it sightseeing. Others call it ecotourism. We call it a day at the park.

From wetlands and woodlands to beaches and trails, exploring our assorted natural habitats is a non-stop adventure. Discover seasonal flowers and native wildlife on guided tours of freshwater marshes and coastal hardwood swamps, then head over to the Butterfly Garden and take a break when you’re done. Park enhancements make it even more accessible with the addition of over nine miles of new trails and expanded car-free loops. So you’ll have even more to explore while you’re here.

Rosemary Dunes

Whether you’re hiking or biking, or just want a chance to spot a gator, this section of the park offers a more backcountry feel because of its environment full of pine trees, conradina, swamp titi, and other fascinating native flowers.
