Manager's Message

NOTICE: In early December Smith Creek Landing parking area will be closed at sunset and will observe regular state park operating hours of 8:00 am to sunset.

North Peninsula State Park is now in the second phase of the twenty-three acre saltmarsh restoration project. The restoration site takes place in a spoil area occurring along the Intracoastal Waterway north of Highbridge Road. This spoil area was built up on historical saltmarsh as a result of dredge activities in the Intracoastal Waterway which took place after the turn of the 20th century. The goal of this restoration project is to create a healthy, productive saltmarsh habitat which will be connected to open water, benefiting an extremely wide range of plants and animals.

During the project, heavy equipment is used to clear existing vegetation and assist in the removal of spoil material. However, the effect on visitors should be minimal, as this project will not restrict access to the recreational portions of the park. Visitors may experience increased vehicle activity along state road A1A, just south of the Flagler/Volusia County line at various times throughout the project and are advised to watch for heavy equipment utilizing the power line road that intersects the trail.

We greatly appreciate your patience while this project is being completed. We hope that you will share in our excitement as we continue to restore the natural communities of North Peninsula State Park.
