About Jonathan Dickinson State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Mark Nelson
Special Notice: Seven of the park's twelve cabins are currently available for rental through ReserveAmerica.com.
Spring has sprung! Beautiful balmy weather ushers in the growing season each year here at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, as the cypress trees show off their soft new verdant needles, and the baby sandhill cranes trot expectantly behind their parents. Park visitors also wait expectantly for the migration of warblers and other birds that are only seen at this time of year, for cool, dry hiking through the pine forests, and for the spring wildflowers that push up through the leaf litter. The crowds in the camping areas have thinned out a little, and if you can squeeze in a springtime visit, then Jonathan Dickinson can be your base for exploration of "...the Real Florida!"
You'll also want to stop by the Kimbell Center for a look at all the exhibits that trace the history of the park and showcase its natural history and its place in the world today. There’s plenty of stuff for the kids to do there, too, along with a really nice 15-minute film about the park. The film is shown daily at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Come share the park with us!
