Today starts National Parks Week!
Jacksonville is home to the Timucuan Trail State and National Parks, a unique partnership between the City of Jacksonville, the State of Florida and the National Park Service (NPS).
The group of parks includes some of the last unspoiled coastal wetlands on the Atlantic Coast and preserves the area`s rich historic and prehistoric sites. Hiking, biking, and kayak trails weave through the seamless system of parks, giving visitors a rare view of pristine marshland, coastal dunes and maritime hammocks.
Our 7 Creeks Recreation Area is part of this unique network. Within 7 Creeks, NPS’ Cedar Point Boat Ramp is a popular launch site for boaters, kayakers and paddle boarders looking to explore the waterways and natural beauty of the area.
