I love this place. It has pretty much everything. Picnic tables spread out and under a pavilion. Barbecue grills. Boat launch. Playground for the kids. Clean bathrooms. Riverbank fishing (brackish water). The view of the fishing and pleasure boats going in and out of the river mouth is always interesting. Dolphin sightings in the morning hours and in the afternoon coming back out of the river. And dont let me forget the beach, it is clean. Tidal currents can be strong at times, but some geriatrics use this to their advantage to exercise. 6 Stars.

Love this quiet little nature trail and park. Quick walks so you dont over do it with the puppers and heat.

Nice little park with bathrooms and a playground. There are also some great little natural Florida trails. The trails are great for a mtn bike ride as they are shell base but do connect with the Pinellas Suncoast trail system. About 2 miles of trails with 2 nice single track loops.Bring your bug spray and would not recommend after dark since it is very dark. There is a bridge over the river and some good spots to fish. If your in the area and looking for a place to maybe have lunch by the water or stretch your legs, this is it. Usually easy parking and no crowds.

Only about two miles of trail but they are lovely. Better than expected for such a small park! Cute little fishing dock at the end and a few little meandering side trails that take you near the water.

This is a very nice nature park. The trails were good and pretty. I just wish they had maps to take with you when you hike.

Diamond in the rough. This place is so natural (translation: bring your Off Bug Spray & keep your dogs on a leash) and the overgrowth is beautiful. Great for families too (playground and restrooms). We try to come every weekend.

My (almost) 4 year old loved it, as did I. The playground was great, and they have a huge rock/ shell pile!

So beautiful and serene. Long walks with a multitude things to experience. The playground is great, restroom is a good plus. I suggest packing a picnic and meandering through the trails. Some spots are breathtaking.

Location is great. Needs the second trail bathroom to be open. Could be a great place. Options for camping would be great to.

I ride my bicycle to this park from time to time and love that it has access to the Pinellas trail. I also like that it has trails to go fishing out on 2 of the docks that are nicely off the beaten path. Great family spot or just time to see the water and be by yourself to enjoy nature at its finest.

I was out on a friends boat & saw the park. Looks like a nice place to go with children. They have a small beach & play ground for the kids to play on. What a beautiful view of the water.

One of my favorite parks. Great trails. Mostly along water (Anclote river). Pinellas trail runs through the park. Great place to ride bikes or put in kayaks/canoes.

Had a nice time walking the trails and Geocaching. Didnt see any wildlife but it certainly seems to be a place that you might even though it is in an urban area. Some trails take you along the Anclote river and others into wooded areas. One trail entrance has a playground and bath rooms.

Brought my 4 year old son here for some fishing. Be forewarned, its quite a walk down the trails to the fishing pier. My son struggled after a bit carrying his small fishing rod and water bottle. He pushed on like the little champ he is!The signage could be a tad better on the trails. None of them actually mentioned which way the fishing pier was. Luckily I snapped a picture of the trail map before we walked in.The fishing pier is pretty good for a couple of people, but would get crowded quickly. The railing is fairly high too, not allowing my son any chance to cast out because it was above his head. Defeated, we hiked back to the playground.The playground is very nice and clean. They have 2 playsets(toddler and kid sized) and a small swingset. The park was open, but the bathrooms remained locked while I was there.
