About Highlands Hammock State Park

9,000 acres of protected land make up this park, opened four years before Florida even had a state park system. Part of its natural area is old-growth forest, a stand recognized by the Old-Growth Forest Network. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2018, marking its early role in the state's conservation history.

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