Northwest Florida adds a new State Park

Many people from all over the world, including myself, are attracted to Florida’s many state parks. There are now 161 state parks in Florida, many of them in northwest Florida. The parks offer natural Florida ecosystems, campgrounds, well maintained bathroom/shower facilities, hiking trails through the forests, fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing and much more. I grew up learning a lot about nature in these parks.

Florida’s newest state park, St Marks River State Park, is just 20 miles from Tallahassee, the state capital and home to Florida State University, where I worked on my graduate program.

St Marks State Park is so new no infrastructure has been created for the park. Currently, the historical and archeological resources are being studied and planning is being developed regarding where to put roads, restroom and picniking facilities, and whatever else will be available to the public. The park does have hiking trails that can be used now. There are old dirt roads through the park from the historical days. The forest products industry was an important industry through much of northwest Florida’s history. Today there are still vast forest lands all over Northwest Florida, but new real estate developments are anchoring in many places in the region.

Northwest Florida is a healthy, good place to live in. Nature is abundant here.
