Another one of our amazing State Park. This is a nice place to go out and get away from it for a while. Picnic tables and pavilions are around. Great trails for nature walks. Florida’s state park system is a great thing. There’s a lot of history and areas of the state parks.

Very beautiful monument.3.00 cash for vehicles.Dont plan a full day to see this, it takes 10 min at the most.Poorly marked so you are confused on where to walk or what there is to see.Besides viewing the monument, and a sign about the war, there is nothing else to view in regards to the war.When I googled this historic battlefield, I was expecting to see a battlefield with historic items in it. Was very unhappy to be lead to a place where the land is fully private properties.

Have only been here once before during a reenactment. We decided to take a hike here in the winter and check out the area. The monument is about the only piece of history you can see. Its all interesting but there is very little to do otherwise. Wish there was more signage to be able to take a hike around or follow a path. Everything is either fenced off or youre walking right on the road.

$3 cash only per vehicle. Plan on 30 minutes. Keep your expectations in check: there are two signs measuring 2 X 3 explaining the battle, and one earthwork: (dirt berm measuring 4 feet tall, 15 feet wide, 60 feet long). Thats it for the period stuff. You can see the river / marsh. The road crosses over it in what I assume to be the natural bridge (40 feet wide, looks like a man-made dike ). There are also 3 picnic tables under cover, bathrooms with flushing toilets, electricity and running sink water. There are no electricity outlets in the bathroom, but one on the wall of the wellhouse - unsure if it is active. There are two water faucets on the grounds, but no handle.

A great addition to St Marks Lighthouse tour. Very interesting Civil War battle field that memorialized the North and South. Dont see that very often

Nice little family friendly park. Would be nice is there was a few more activities to do, but all and all is a wonderful little park to escape to for some rest and relaxation.Love the historic remakes of the civil war and the trails that can be walked on.

This was the 155 anniversary. Smaller than Oluste but very well done by the Florida State Parks. Lots of reenactors and settlement

Very clean, very well-maintained. Not a lot of information on the Battle of natural bridge, or about natural bridge itself.

The land is preserved, has a historical society focused on preservation and being historically correct. The park is always open to enjoy its natural beauty.

Review №17

Interesting for the historian. Not much to see beyond the monuments but they are worth it if only to learn about Floridas heritage. Wear bug repellent!!! The deer flies will carry you away.

An important historical site however, theres not much to look at. Dont plan your trip around seeing this site as it appears most of the area around the park is all private land.

As a lover of history, Ive always wanted to visit this site since childhood. Today I had my chance. The rain kept me from a longer stay. In my Arnold Voice, ILL BE BACKKKK.

Small renactment, but well done. There is a food vendor as well as modern shops and authentic shops. Small activities through the weekend. The ball Saturday night is a good time. A historical monument also. It would be nice if more vendors could be here and more people showed up.

A fun little state park on the side of the road. A little out of the way but full of history and significance. If youre in the are I would highly recommend you stopping by for an hour so so.

This place had yellow flies like crazy which we could not enjoy the area because of that. As soon as we get out of our vehicle they started swarming us and we had to run away because they kept attacking us and the kids. So its a nice area just the bugs made it to unenjoyable.

Commemorating the only southern capital that did not fall during the war of northern aggression and the battle that kept it safe. The defense carried out by old men and little boys that were left behind
