Manager's Message
The days are turning cooler making it a great time to enjoy the park. Rent a Canoe or bring your own and enjoy the peaceful waters of the Pellicer Creek State Canoe Trail. Spend some time exploring one of the trails or spend a lazy day with the family having a picnic under one of the pavilions. Spend some time re-creating your mind and body on the banks of the creek.
- Douglas Carter, Park Manager
Welcome to Faver-Dykes State Park
Noted for its pristine condition, this tranquil park borders Pellicer Creek as it winds along Florida's east coast highways down to the Matanzas River. Pellicer Creek is a popular site for birding with more than one hundred bird species seen during spring and fall migrations. Songbirds, including the colorful wood warblers, along with eagles and falcons, return to nest at the park each year. Wading birds, such as egrets, wood storks, white ibis, and herons, feed in the tidal marshes and creeks. This peaceful park is also home to deer, turkeys, hawks, bobcats, and river otters. Fishing, picnicking, and nature walks are popular activities. Pellicer Creek is a designated state canoe trail and visitors can rent canoes at the park. A full-facility campground is available for overnight stays. Located 15 miles south of St. Augustine near the intersection of I-95 and U.S. 1.
