Shoal River Headwaters State Park is Florida’s newest state park! Welcome to unspoiled, natural terrain in …the Real Florida.
The 2,480-acre park, located just west of DeFuniak Springs, comprises rolling sandy hills, mesic flatlands and floodplain forests along the tributaries of the Shoal River and is now open for passive recreation, including hiking and wildlife viewing. Nature enthusiasts may glimpse an array of wildlife including deer, turkeys, snakes, skunks and gopher tortoises.
Situated within the Northwest Florida Sentinel Landscape, this property serves as important buffer land, supports military readiness and links with nearby conservation lands to form connected wildlife corridors while protecting natural habitats of varying threatened and endangered plant and animal species.
