Manager's Message

Fall is here. The weather is still beautiful. Now is the time to plan your trip to a genuine Florida treasure, Econfina River State Park.
Our new system of marked trails highlights hiking, horseback and biking pathways. Our boat ramp is always open, providing easy access to the Gulf of Mexico for saltwater flats fishing.
Plan a visit to the hiking and horseback trails at Econfina River State Park. This unique bit of “Old Florida” is a beautiful treat to enjoy.
For your enjoyment, there are two small "efficiency style" rental units available. Although they are small units, they are kept clean and ready for use. To make a reservation, please call Ms. Bonnie at (850) 584-3026.

Welcome to Econfina River State Park

Nestled along the northern Gulf Coast, this park protects a mosaic of diverse landscapes. The Econfina River meanders like a dark ribbon through pine flatwoods, oaks and palm forests to broad expanses of salt marsh dotted with pine islands. Nature lovers can explore the scenic beauty by foot, bicycle, or horseback on nine miles of wooded trails-or drift along the river in a kayak, canoe, or boat. Trails lead to a panoramic view of coastal Florida where lush islands, sand dunes left from a bygone era, dot the horizon. The Econfina River empties into the Gulf of Mexico 2.2 miles south of the park's boat ramp. Picnic facilities are near the boat ramp. Equestrians must register with the park office prior to using a trail. Located in Taylor County at the end of State Road 14, south of U.S. 98.
