Step into the natural wonderland of Colt Creek State Park, where over 5,000 acres of diverse Central Florida landscape await your exploration. Enter a realm where longleaf pine flatwoods, tranquil lakes, meandering creeks, thick cypress domes, and expansive vistas converge to create a haven for a vast array of plant and animal species. Among the park’s inhabitants are magnificent bald eagles, graceful white-tailed deer, elusive American alligators, playful otters, and a myriad of birds and butterflies. Delve deeper and you may encounter threatened species like the gopher tortoise and Sherman’s fox squirrel, adding to the park’s ecological significance.

Embark on a journey along more than 15 miles of multiuse trails that wind through pine flatwoods, natural creeks, and wetlands, shared by hikers, cyclists, and equestrians alike.

Experience the serene waters firsthand by renting a canoe or kayak from the ranger station.
