It was a bit wet would love to go back out there when its dried up. Ranger Patterson was very helpful

Really an Equestrian Trail, but very pretty. Ill be back in the winter when the ticks are less!

GREAT local course..and getting better every day

Beautiful trails for a nice bike ride. Lots of open wetlands show how Florida used to look at one time

Real cool place to go if you like Outdoors

Were the only ones in the park. We saw a deer and a turtle on our walk through the park. It was very peaceful.

Beautiful park

This has yet to be developed into a full state park yet. Trails are Sandy, but perfect for horseback riding. Hiking is okay. Really close to Stuart and I-95.

I have been to Atlantic Ridge a number of times to hike and have found these reviews misleading. This is a beautiful park to hike, but it is not for everyone. Why? Because there are no visitors centers, no well blazed trails, no concessions, etc. This is a preserve, for wildlife. There are trails but you need to be comfortable with reading an aerial or trail map (if you can find a trail map, good luck!). Use your phone to guide you. There are few or any people here. You have to call Jonathan Dickenson State Park to get the gate combo (keep that number if you get lost and need a rescue) on the Paulson Ave. entrance, then pay your entrance fee at the iron maiden, then park in an open lot, with a port-a-lay and picnic table nearby if you are lucky. Many trails are on firebreaks in sugar sand. Hot in the summer, and some trails under water in the rainy season. The mostly palmetto-pine habitat is rather unshaded. Bring plenty to eat and drink.That said, it is peaceful and has a relaxing, solitude beauty. Yearly bird migrations bring diversity for bird watching. There is not much in the way of water, just some creeks and ditches, maybe a pond or two in the rainy season. You may see deer, gopher tortoises, bobcats, and the like, but dont expect them everywhere. I always see something interesting. This winter the south ditch dried up and there was a prehistoric looking alligator gar of almost 3 feet laying dead and becoming nourishment for black vultures before our approach scared them off. And two prescribed burns within a couple of weeks of a recent hike made for an alternate view of the preserves natural beauty contrast with charred black vegetation. Expect solitude, but it is not for everyone.

Old time Florida.very well maintained.Great hiking & horse riding .

Who doesnt love nature, and the education that comes along with it!!

Real cool pace

Great place to walk pets

Its nice. Occasionally you get a nice breeze coming through the area.

Beautiful

I grew up here and so glad that they turned the beautiful river I grew up on into a state park

My home is over the lake...that is why...HOME

Beautiful and Serene.

Gate code 8173.

Very clean park

Used to go horseback riding out here. Never very busy and its well-kept but its mostly for the animals and not humans, which I think is great
