Welcome to the serene Dunns Creek State Park, nestled south of a sharp bend in the majestic St. Johns River. Spanning over 6,200 acres, this natural oasis showcases a diverse range of ecosystems, from picturesque sandhills adorned with tall longleaf pines to the unique wiregrass and sand pine scrub habitats. These habitats provide a sanctuary for endangered and threatened species like the gopher tortoise and the graceful fox squirrel, along with countless other native wildlife.

Discover the wonders of Dunns Creek State Park as you enter through the main gate at 320 Sisco Road. Journey down the scenic park drive, where you can witness the beauty of the natural surroundings and spot abundant wildlife along the way. At the park’s culminating point, you’ll find access to the tranquil Dunns Creek, complete with an ADA compliant fishing platform and floating canoe launch, convenient restroom facilities, and ample parking.

For an alternative entry point to the park, situated just off U.S. 17 north of Pomona Park, visitors can explore marked trails and a charming picnic area. Embark on the 1.5-mile yellow hiking and biking trail, leading you through lush landscapes to the crystal-clear waters of Blue Pond.
