It’s the unofficial start to summer, so Florida State Parks will be bustling with activity this weekend.
When parking lots become full, some parks may temporarily close to vehicle traffic. But you can usually still enter the park on a bicycle or by foot. If you plan to visit a park that’s usually very busy, consider walking or biking in, if possible.

Forget the fluorescent lights and crowded machines—your new gym is #TheRealFlorida! 🌿💪
With a Florida State Parks Annual Pass, you’ll have access to the ultimate #OutdoorGym: miles of trails, sparkling waterways and fresh air as far as the eye can see.
Who needs a treadmill when you have nature’s own paths to explore?

Need some peace & quiet this weekend? Paddling through the calm, secluded waters of 📍 Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park in Port Richey may be just what you need!
Bring your own kayak/canoe or rent one at the park! 🛶

What’s your take on this photo for April Fool’s Day? 😆
Raccoons are smart & a bit mischievous. #RangerTip: Store food & trash in secure containers when camping.

Today is “More Good Today Day” — a designated day to do something good! 😇 Why not save a critter 🐰 and pick up litter 🗑️ when you visit #FLStateParks? Many have Litter Picker Stations, making it easier to dispose of garbage and do more good!
