Deer Lake State Park
About Deer Lake State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Dale Shingler
Winter is here, try experiencing the improved 1 mile Interpretive Forest Loop trail (orange trail) or the 1/2 mile Lake trail (blue trail) with it's scenic overlook of Deer Lake. Both Nature Trails are located on the Northside of County Hwy 30-A ,across from the park entrance. For those beachcombers Deer Lake State Park offers some of the most undisturbed view of the sugar white beaches of the Emerald Coast. The park's 1/4 mile dune boardwalk offers some of the best views of a dynamic dune ecosystem to be found on the Gulf coast. If you let it, the natural beauty of this spot will take you to a place called 'serenity.'
Pets are not allowed on the beach. Pets are allowed at the picnic area and on the nature trail located on the north side of Hwy. 30-A across from the park entrance. Pets must be kept on a hand held leash no more than six foot long while in the park.
Deer Lake State Park's entrance fee is $3.00, honor fee. Deer Lake State Park is a day-use only park. Camping is not available.
For the enjoyment of all our park guests Deer Lake State Park has full beach access for our ADA guests.
