About Blackwater River State Park

The Blackwater River runs through this park off U.S. 90 near Harold, with an address at 7720 Deaton Bridge Road marking the entrance. The waterway gives the park its name and its main draw for visitors deciding where to spend time along the water. Access comes from a road system built around the river's path, placing the park within reach of Milton to the southwest.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
