Located on the Gulf of Mexico in western Pasco County, Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park is a recent addition to Florida’s State Park system. The park consists of approximately 3400 acres; approximately 600 acres are upland and the other 2800 acres are wetland or submerged and includes four miles of pristine coastline.

In March of 2001, a small portion of the park was opened to the public. The entrance to that area is located off Scenic Drive in Port Richey. This area has a picnic pavilion, tables, kiosk, Clevus-Mulch restroom, and a 3/4-mile hiking trail. The rest of the park is in the process of being developed and eventually will provide visitors with more access and extensive recreational opportunities.
