Welcome to St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park
This site preserves open grassy forests of longleaf pine that were once commonplace throughout Florida. The pine flatwoods form a backdrop for other biological communities, including cypress domes, scrubby flatwoods, sandhills, and a beautiful strand swamp. These habitats are home to many native plants and animals, including over 50 protected species. Photographers, bird-watchers, and nature enthusiasts can explore miles of trails on foot, bicycle, or horseback. Canoeing, boating, and fishing on the St. Sebastian River are popular activities. Launching facilities are available outside the preserve at Dale Wimbrow Park and several private ramps along the St. Sebastian River, and at a canoe launch north of County Road 512. Spring is upon us and now is the time to enjoy a slow and easy walk along the park's trails. With over 60 miles of trails going through multiple ecosystems there are many different species of both plants and animals to observe. Spring also brings many different flowering plants to bloom along these trails. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection such as a hat or sun screen. So bring the family out to enjoy the Real Florida.
