Econfina River State Park is a playground for those who love the outdoors, encompassing over 4,500 acres of rich coastal ecosystems that serve as a vital sanctuary for a variety of flora and fauna. 

A highlight of the park is its boat ramp, offering direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, making it a hotspot for anglers. Here, you might catch species like red drum, spotted sea trout, and flounder with just a simple cast. The park's 14 miles of shared-use trails are perfect for spotting wildlife, including alligators, black bears, white-tailed deer, ospreys, and herons, providing a true nature experience. 

Whether your passion lies in hiking, bird watching, boating, or simply enjoying a picnic, Econfina River State Park caters to all interests. This park allows visitors to connect with Florida's pristine coastline, much like it has for generations, offering a perfect setting for families and friends to engage with nature.
