Florida state parks are managed to appear (as
closely as possible) as they did when the first Europeans arrived.
All plant and animal life is protected in state parks. Hunting,
livestock
grazing and timber removal are not permitted. Do not remove,
deface, mutilate or molest any natural or cultural resources or park
facilities. For your safety, do not feed any animals.
Intoxicants and firearms are prohibited. Florida state parks are open
from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.
Pets are allowed. They must be kept
on a six-foot, hand held leash and be well behaved at all times.
Guide dogs and handicapped service dogs are welcome in all areas
of the parks.
Florida state parks are in various stages of
accessibility, and are working to improve access to services and
facilities. Should you need assistance to enable your full
participation, please contact the individual park office as soon as
possible. Sometimes as many as ten business days may be needed to
schedule a particular accommodation.
To discover and experience all of the Real
Florida at Florida's 141 state parks, ask a park ranger where you
can pick up a copy of the Florida State Parks Guide.
