Welcome to Savannas Preserve State Park

Located on Florida's southeast coast, the park's scenic landscapes represent what the first pioneers would have seen in the area. 

Savannas Preserve State Park protects a representative sample of a basin marsh that extended throughout South Florida prior to rapid suburban growth.

Pavilions and picnic tables are available near the center and at trail heads throughout the park. Canoeing, kayaking and fishing in the wetlands are popular recreational activities.

Wildlife enthusiasts and photographers will enjoy the diversity of habitats this undisturbed area has to offer. The park boasts over 17 miles of multi-use trails that provide ample opportunities for hiking, bicycling and horseback riding.

Manager's Message

Many natural challenges have occurred in the park with droughts, hurricanes and deluges of water. With this full circle of events, the marsh has now filled back up and the miles of trails within are anticipated to dry up.
