About Deer Lake State Park

Little detail beyond the park's location and administrative ties survives in available records, though its coastal setting along CR 30A places it within the string of protected dune and lake systems typical of this stretch of the Florida Panhandle. It shares management ties with Grayton Beach State Recreation Area, its sister park, suggesting coordinated stewardship of the two properties. Visitors deciding whether to go will find that the land sits in Santa Rosa Beach, in the northwestern part of the state.

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