Nice slice of nature in the middle of the city. Pet friendly. No playground but one is not needed. Kids enjoyed it.

A nice place to go for a hike or a picnic. There are tables, some under the trees and some under a shelter. There are a couple of maintenance issues: part of a loop trail was washed away so the trail is no longer a loop, and the stairs leading to the top of the taller mound are extremely slick with mildew. Otherwise, its a good spot for an easy hike or to just sit and relax outside.

Great park and trail. Trail was washed out but still nice. Not only a great place but a great historical site as well.

Every first Sunday of the month, in the afternoon, there is a lovely group of people who get together and have a drum circle. They let me and my friend join in on the jam session. So much fun would be a nice place for meditation or picnic

Gorgeous. LOTS of butterflies at the top of the mounds. Spotted a spider in the center of its Web, 30 off the ground and a 10 span between the tree limbs.

A fairly well maintained state park and archeological site. Around the mounds are hiking trails and picnic benches. There is a restroom and limited grills for cooking out.

Havent explored all of it yet, but enjoying the forest

Lovely trails not too far outside of Tallahassee. Great for hikes and biking as well. The mounds were a beauty to behold and theres an information gallery as well to understand the history of the mounds.

Its a very beautiful park. You can climb up the mounds or go on one of the many trails. I take my pup here a lot, its never too busy.

Today we hiked the entire Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park with around 3.5 miles of trails. Informative displays and several picnic tables are offered including bathrooms. Photographed is the tallest mound which stands 36 feet high with a base that measures 278 feet by 312 feet. It was built by Native Americans belonging to the Fort Walton Culture.

Amazing! I had a great time, very beautiful lots of wildlife and history!

A great place to explore on a cool day with a friend or a dog. Reasonable length trails. Lots of greenery and Florida fauna. The wooden stairs, bridges, and signs are getting old.

The park is definitely still recovering from the hurricane, and a lot of the park benches/tables need to be replaced. Still, a very nice spot with some pretty forestry and a quiet place to have a picnic

Beautiful Peaceful place to spend time at.

Awesome place. Great place for dogs and great hiking trails. Clean, neat and bathrooms. Great scenery.

A very interesting hidden spot in Tallahassee. There isnt much here to keep your attention though. It would be nice to have more information on the Native Americans who lived here. Maybe better displays, a mock hut to show what their daily lives were like, etc. So much history here that isnt really represented

We went when the weather wasnt so good. I love parks and history and this place still seemed run down to me. Board walk and stairs were in poor shape. Has potential.

Greta place with lots of history to explore. The trails are easy for and the old mill ruins are quite interesting. A bit soggy when it has been raining so wear good shoes, especially if you are going back to the mound at the far end of the park.

A Swift reflection of ancient Creek heritage and tradition.

A wonderful part of Florida history!

It was nice for what it is, if that makes sense! There are several informational panels about the history of the area and the native people that lived there, which I enjoyed reading! Two of the five mounds are visible and climbable, but it is not entirely clear where they fall on the maps that are given. A few of the signs with historical information are worn to the point of illegibility, which was disappointing.

Always great food.

They trail is closed partly around, looks like it has been for a long time. Although the sign says temporarily. It does have a nice picnic area and restrooms

Very well kept park with nice facilities and walking trails. Nice place to go when you want to feel immersed in the woods

Nice place but needs some attention. The signs are faded and it could use more information too. The walkways up to the mound are in good order though.

Very interesting to learn/read about while here. It’s a cool spot!

The trails are easy to walk. Very peaceful and beautiful. Historical and Educational.

A few trails are under repair and closed but was still fun.

Trails are buggy, take bugspray!

This is a pleasant state park just a short distance north of Tallahassee. It features easy access to 2 large ceremonial mounds, each with a well-maintained stairway to climb to the top to get a view of the landscape. The park also has picnic tables, a large pavilion, a restroom building, and some interpretive signs. Unfortunately, the signs are quite worn and difficult to read. The park is in a swampy area, and although there were no issues with bugs in late December when we visited, I suspect during warmer weather, mosquitoes could impact the enjoyment of the park.

Really beautiful place with wild life and interesting history!

Forested preserve with old growth native trees and indian burial mounds. Some residual damage from Hurricane Michael that resulted in some of the paths being washed out.

It was very interesting to see the mounds

It was ok. It would be nice if they fixed the mill trail bridge. The interpretive signage also needs to be updated.

I go here to pray and meditate. Clearing my mind. It is not a park where you will see lots of kids and is never crowded. Water surrounds the park, so it makes it serene. U can have private dates and hanging out with your friends at this park without being bothered by anyone.

Nice trails with the stories of living primitive Florida.

A great place to relax!

Loved them but not kept up with grass.

I went there quite often 10-20 years ago and it was great. I was so dissapointed when I went today. The mounds are covered with weeds. The steps only go up one side and you cant see anything but the weeds. There is no trail to the aquaducts. They arent even mentioned. The signs were faded and unreadable. The trail is okay but it doesnt go in a circle anymore. I wanted to cry.

Quiet place, picnic tables, shelter, restrooms and trails.

Lovely short or mid-level hikes; great for dogs

I have loved the mounds since I was a kid on fieldtrips but back then it was so attractive and so well kept. Now it is overgrown and falling down. Please dont Let Lake Jackson Indian Mounds go into disrepair. We love our Tallahassee city features and want them maintained properly!!

The best park! Remember to donate!

Lots of nature hiking trails. I see protected tortoise, deer, and all types of birds including hawks and eagles.

Not much there but was a good place to picnic and get out of the car to wander and stretch our legs while traveling through the area. The hiking path through the woods and the stream were favorites to the kids.

Wonderful place for a small, very doable nature walk. Great for picnics, dog walks and outside games! **MAKE SURE you PAY the small fee to get into the park. Theres a chance that a park ranger will pull you over if you dont. As stated before...its just a few bucks so, go ahead & do it.** The park is rather isolated...so for the sake of safety, one should always be aware of your surroundings. Especially on the trail. Ive never heard of anything happening but I see people with headphones on all the time... Totally unaware of whats going on.

Beautiful trails to spend some time with nature

Gorgeous vistas! Love the walking trail. Great place to picnic.

Awesome place to visit! The history alone is very neat. This park has grills, running water, and picnic tables making this a great place to grill or have a outdoor gathering.

The kids loved hiking the trails!

This is a great state park. It is in a residential area and acts as something of a neighborhood park. It is popular for dog walking, jogging and nature excursions. It has a few hiking trails, a berm associated with a historic mill and most importantly several American Indian Mounds. The largest of these mounds has an observation platform which has a commanding view of the surrounding area. The top of the largest mound is about forty feet high from the base. Additionally this park has a bathroom, some picnic tables and potable water.

Could not locate

There are no artifacts or much of anything else. Not much in the way of inspiration or education. I left unchanged.

Everyone there is amazing you can tell they really care

Beautiful place great trails

Lovely place to walk around. Grass is soft. My dogs also had a great time. Another hidden gem in Tally.

Awesome little park with mounds made by the native Americans hundreds of years ago and also cooll trails.. Im sure forged by them.

Great examples of remaining Native American architecture. The mounds are the remaining footprint of the Lake Jackson Peoples who lived on the fertile lake bottom before Europeans arrived. Picnicking, great hiking and views of deep ravines as well. Ask the great staff questions about the park.

Very pretty! Took the pup for a walk through the trail and saw so many beautiful ferns.

There are stairs to the top on each mound.

Very educational, great park with a beautiful lake

Beautiful trails in the woods.

A great, no-frills picnic and hiking area that is worth the couple hours it requires to check out. I truly enjoy the trails there, but wish there were more of them (and that the park was much larger).The picnic area is large offering both covered and uncovered options, perfect for a group-family outing with kids.

A very nice area too reconnect with nature.

Nice little place for a walk or a spot to sit and eat

Good trails and a great learning experience for kids!

Going there as the lockdown ends

Small Park. We enjoyed it though. Love to see the Indian mounds.

Theres 2 mounds you can see. Its overgrown with weeds/high grass. The bathrooms are clean. The view would be awesome if it wasnt overgrown with trees and grass/weeds!

The mounds are fantastic! Too bad the signs explaining the Ft Walton Culture were too faded to read! Also, some wooden steps leading to the mounds were a little janky, so watch your step.

Cool place to take the family

Ok, didnt see the main area just a small trail.

Beautiful and historic!

Beautiful as always. A few trails are cut off right now but still worth the trip over

Really pretty historical site.

I wanna get married here. So peaaceful.

Well worth a visit. My wife and I enjoyed experiencing the mounds, the interpretive features, and the trail. I was inspired by the grit and determination that would be required to make these mounds with the technology of the time.

Its nice and quiet, only annoyed by the people that cant be bothered to pay the $3 to help keep it up.

Very pretty, nice trails. LOTS of poison ivy, so be careful. Trails are well shaded.

Great park for the family, Mounds with stairs to climb and beautiful trails to follow with some small Bridges. Perfect place to visit for a picnic and there is one gazebo to rent out.

Beautiful place. Clean and relaxing

Love this place!! So peaceful, calm. Nice trails, picnic area, stairway mounds, rest rooms. One of my favorites for sure.

Nice little park with some local history and light hiking.

I just discovered this place, even though i have lived in Tally my whole life. Nice park in the middle of a neighborhood. My friends just had small wedding out there and it was beautiful!

If you walk the trails that makes its way through the forrest part of the park, which btw is wonderful to take dogs on because of the solitude it provides. You will also be greated by the forrest unique terrain for this area of FL, which includes steephills and provides a micro climate or a sub climate that is 10-15° cooler than the temperature outside of the woods. Truelu a unique place to explore . Just remember to bring bug spray

Nice trails. Really quiet

Peaceful area. The Park has one large pavilion and about one dozen picnic tables. There is ample parking including handicapped parking. The facility was well maintained. Take good shoes of course. There is a restroom facility and refuse bins.

Beautiful shaded trails, nice picnic area

Visited. Trails are nice but not much to do.

Nice trails and has a sense of being removed even when being so close to town. Good afternoon hike/educational trip.

This is a lovely historical area in Tallahassee. There are some archeological significant mounds with information posted. I also love the nature trails.

Love to visit this beautiful, historic park with hiking trails, picnic area Indian mounds... its all good!

Fantastic trails, pavilions, and bathrooms. Great place for a family BBQ.

Super cool place I grew up next door basically in a trailer park and we would walk the trails every day.

$3 admission fee (honor code) feels kind of high for the quality of a park

Florida history and a beautiful park. Small enough for an afternoon visit to cover all the grounds.

Interesting history... Bring a picnic!

The mounds were not as exciting as they seemed they would be and there is no trail to the mounds so there are bugs and ants everywhere. Still it was a cool experience to be on top of the mounds, just a little underwhelming.

A little Florida History here and a really nice trail. Clean Bathrooms and Picnic tables. Go check it out

Beautiful
