Find a Park

The virgin tropical hardwood hammock that thrives on this island was once common on most of Florida's Upper Keys.

Though it seems like the edge of the world, Bahia Honda State Park gives you a genuinely singular experience and the opportunity to enjoy the real wonder and beauty of Florida’s majestic Keys.

Discover one of Florida's most productive and biologically diverse estuaries, where freshwater from stunning spring-fed rivers mixes with the saltwater of the Gulf of America. The park borders 20 miles of the northern Gulf Coast between the cities of Yankeetown and Homosassa.

Hundreds of manatees make this park their home for the winter, and viewing these gentle giants from the spring's overlooks is a rare experience. The refreshing 72-degree waters of Blue Spring State Park greet visitors at this gem along the St. Johns River.
