Manager's Message
Hello and thank you for visiting our web site! There is a lot going on in the park these days with snook season in full swing and beautiful weather for swimming and surfing.
Cooler weather is on its way so come on out and enjoy the trail system within Ft. Pierce Inlet and Jack Island Preserve State Parks. Jack Island is located one-mile north of Ft. Pierce Inlet on A1A. You will find trail guides at the entrances to our trails to give you an idea of the ecosystems you will travel through.
Come reap the benefits of a relaxing day at the beach! We hope to see you soon.

Welcome to Fort Pierce Inlet State Park
The shores and coastal waters at this park provide an abundance of recreational opportunities. The breathtakingly beautiful half-mile beach welcomes visitors for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and scuba diving. Beachcombing, picnicking, or just relaxing on the sand are also popular activities. Dynamite Point was once the training site for WWII Navy Frogmen, but is now a haven for birdwatchers. Along the south end of the park, Fort Pierce Inlet is a popular place for anglers to catch their dinners. Jack Island Preserve, located one mile north of the park, has trails for hiking, bicycling, and nature study. At the west end of the Marsh Rabbit Run Trail, visitors can climb an observation tower to get a bird's-eye view of Indian River and the island. A primitive youth/group campground is available on a reservation basis; please call the park. Located four miles east of Fort Pierce, via North Causeway.
