Safety Updates

Effective immediately, Florida State Parks will follow local orders requiring facial coverings or masks to provide for staff and visitor safety. These requirements vary from area to area. Our main priority is the safety of our guests and staff. We will continue to review operations on a daily basis and make additional operational changes as may be deemed necessary for protection of public health. Please review individual park pages for specific information for each location.

View details about online payments, park and campground closures, park programs/events and facial coverings.

Hurricane Zeta

In order to ensure staff and visitor safety, due to the imminent landfall and storm conditions associated with Hurricane Zeta, some state parks are at least partially closed effective today. We will continue to carefully monitor the storm and will make additional closures as necessary. Re-opening will begin as soon as possible, once conditions are safe to do so. Please visit specific park webpages for details and the latest information, or visit Storm Updates for additional information.
