Manager's Message
It is time to plan your trip to a genuine Florida treasure, Econfina River State Park. Our new system of marked trails shows hiking, horseback and biking byways and more.
Our boat ramp is always open, providing easy access to the Gulf of Mexico for saltwater flats fishing. If you need overnight accomodations, we have two one-room efficiencies, fitted out with small refrigerators and microwaves. They are simple and Spartan but, because we operate them, clean and comfortable. They can be reserved by calling Bonnie, at 850-584-3026.
Plan a visit to the hiking and horseback trails at Econfina River State Park. This unique bit of “Old Florida” is a beautiful treat to enjoy.

Welcome to Econfina River State Park
Nestled along the northern Gulf Coast, this park protects a mosaic of diverse landscapes. The Econfina River meanders like a dark ribbon through pine flatwoods, oaks and palm forests to broad expanses of salt marsh dotted with pine islands. Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, bicycle, or horseback on nine 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, 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. Equestrians must register with the park office prior to using a trail. Located in Taylor County at the end of State Road 14, south of U.S. 98.
