Tomoka State Park

Take a short drive ( 15 minutes ) to the Tomoka Outpost at the Tomoka State Park. You can rent kayaks or canoes and enjoy the hidden coves. You just might see a manatee or two. Native Americans once dwelled here, living off fish-filled lagoons. Today, these waters are popular for canoeing, boating and fishing.

Tomoka is a bird-watcher's paradise, with over 160 species sighted, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Visitors can stroll a half-mile nature trail through a hardwood hammock that was once an indigo field for an 18th-century British landowner. take a nature hike thru the park and locate the old Indian totem pole.

The park protects a variety of wildlife habitats and endangered species such as the West Indian manatee.

A boat ramp gives boaters and canoeists access to the river. The park store offers snacks, camping supplies and canoe rentals.
