The park is made up of sinkholes, hardwood hammocks, river swamps, and sandhills. The Sante Fe River runs through the park, disappearing into a sinkhole and re-appearing approximately 3.5 miles away at River Rise Preserve State Park, forming a natural land bridge. At one time, the historic Bellamy Road ran across this land bridge.
Among the wildlife of the park are white tailed deer, squirrel, alligators, turtles, raccoons and gopher tortoises.
Amenities include a more than 13 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails, picnic pavilions, and a full-facility campground which includes family, primitive, youth and group camping.
Florida state parks are open between 8 A.M. and sundown every day of the year (including holidays).
