Observation platforms provide a view of the endangered mammals that gather during cooler months. Hike through miles of scrub brush or along the spring run. Tour the Thursby House, a three story home from the frontier days filled with artifacts from the turn of the 20th century. Cabins and camping are available on site. Take a historic St. Johns River Cruise for a two hour narrated nature and ecological cruise on the St. John’s River. Fishing is available on the St. John’s river from the accessible fishing dock.
