Interesting but not spectacular gardens with a nice history. Nice to take lunch or BBQ by the lake? The gardens are well kept, but need better signage and it would be nice to be able to see into the greenhouse.

Beautiful state park, a water area to spot marine life, and so many different kinds of birds, you can fish, or enjoy playset -very relaxing, and a fun cheap afternoon.

We stopped by here on our way south to see what it was all about. We stayed in the small park area which is nice. There are a couple of trails that are probably worth it if you have the time. The view of the river is nice. We happened to see a huge owl swoop into a tree which... More

We did not have... More

I've always admired the spread out beauty of live oak trees of Florida, especially with spanish moss crowing their glory, but this is the first state park I've seen dedicated to them. The trees are everywhere, including the surrounding areas beyond the park. It's very nice and tranquil here, with plenty of walkways to enjoy. There's a waterfront area, a... More
