Jonathan Dickinson State Park
About Jonathan Dickinson State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Mark Nelson
Special Notice: Beginning June 1st, the park’s rental cabins will be unavailable as renovations are made. Please watch this space and at ReserveAmerica.com for news of the cabins’ reopening and reservability through ReserveAmerica.
With the winter camping season upon us, our busiest time of year at Jonathan Dickinson is in full swing. Camping reservations are at a premium, the Youth Group campsites are booked up nearly every weekend, and even at the deepest backpacking sites, solitude is hard to come by! This is the time of year when the livin’ is sweet at the Park – the days are crisp, the nights are cool, and the mosquitoes are few and far between. Who could ask for more? Maybe a hike or a bike ride would do you good!
We would also like to announce the return of guided horseback riding to Jonathan Dickinson State Park! From now until at least the end of March, our concessionaire has brought some of his mounts from one of his other operations to our park and is offering trail riding through the backcountry of the park, escorted by expert wranglers. You will see the stalls and the beautiful horses awaiting you at the equestrian center of the park, EaglesView, and can get more information by calling 561-746-1466.
You'll also want to stop by the Kimbell Center for a look at all the exhibits that trace the history of the park and showcase its natural history and its place in the world today. There’s plenty of stuff for the kids to do there, too, along with a really nice 15-minute film about the park. The film is shown daily at 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Come share the park with us!
