About Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park
Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park is a peaceful and scenic area ideal for outdoor activities. The park features miles of trails that are easy to navigate, making it suitable for beginners. Visitors can enjoy quiet nature walks in an environment free of rough terrain or wet soil. The trails pass through diverse habitats, including mature oak, cabbage palm, slash pine, and palmetto uplands, with some loops returning to the main track. The park is well-maintained and offers benches for resting along the trail. It is a great spot for botanizing and hiking, with some trails marked but others less so, so good navigation skills or a GPS can be helpful. The park is not crowded and provides friendly, helpful staff. There is a small fee of $6 for parking, and the trail is self-guided. The preserve also caters to horseback riding, with grassy parking and the need to bring your own water for horses. While mountain biking is limited due to sandy trails, visitors hope for future trail enhancements. Overall, Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park offers a quiet, scenic, and accessible outdoor experience.

It was an unexpected surprise finding this state park/trail. We only walked 3 miles but it goes further. Plenty of shade as it goes through wooded areas and even by the river.
