A shaded area with unpaved paths that are broad and clear and grassy for a refreshing walk through nature; be on the lookout for gopher tortoises, birds and native flora.
We walked just under 1 mile on a loop path.

Be sure to pick up your brochure for the self-guided tour of the Cracker Homestead. A very educational and interesting tour celebrating the heritage of Florida’s forest industry. Part of the tour is done inside in the museum & the rest is outdoors, walking the surrounding homestead. There was no staff present when we visited. There was a $2 state park fee per person for entry. Very well-maintained and clean both indoors and out.
The Jungle Cruise is amazing! Presently it’s $8 for adults & is approximately 40 minutes long.
There are several entrances to Bald Point State Park. There is lots to see & explore: sandy beaches, hiking trails and boat ramp access. We went back a second day to dig in further and enjoy the wildlife!
What an amazing experience! This is a self-guided tour along Lighthouse Rd, a 6.7 mile paved roadway. There are 8 stop-offs & 2 viewing areas designated along the tour, although you may pull over at ANY time to view the myriad of native plants, birds & wildlife.
We saw butterflies galore & many birds including Roseate spoonbills, Tri-colored herons, Great Blue herons, Great egrets and Snowy egrets.
The lighthouse is the bonus at the end of the road, & you can walk the property including the shoreline.
This small, quaint Gulf Coast beach is narrow & is plentiful with oyster shells & seagrass. It was enjoyable to walk thru the shallow tide line & observe the hermit crabs who have taken residence in various large & beautiful seashells. There is swimming, picnic tables, restrooms, rinse-off station, kids area & plenty of free parking.
Beautiful park of 543 acres nestled in the pine flat woods, that was originally discovered as a shell midden in 1998. Look for the white squirrels & the piebald (white) deer, included among the abundant wildlife, rare plant species and wildflowers. There are 3 multi-use trails & 2 connectors to equal 4+ miles; also a boat launch, swimming, fishing & camping. All 30 campsites have water & electric hookups & are spaced privately throughout a forest loop, situated along the Ochlockonee River.
We are enjoying our 3-night stay here, with a full itinerary of things-to-do nearby in Wakulla County & several of the nearby Gulf Coast beaches.
