Tomoka State Park
A paradise for birdwatchers, this Florida park also has a fascinating history.
Where the Halifax and Tomoka rivers meet, you’ll find Tomoka State Park. Surrounded by calm waters, this little park is ideal for boating and canoeing. With more than 160 species sighted, it’s also a great spot for birdwatchers, especially during the spring and fall migrations, while also protecting alligators and the endangered West Indian manatee. Hiking paths include a short riverside nature trail that snakes through a hardwood hammock once home to the Indigenous Timucua and passes through the site of the ancient Timucuan Village of Nocoroco. Overnight visitors can stay at one of the park’s 100 campsites.

When to Go
Tomoka State Park is open year-round. If you plan to visit during the summer months or during holidays, it’s a good idea to make your reservations early because they tend to fill up quickly, especially in summer and around the holidays. Late fall and winter is the best time for birdwatching, as you can see migratory birds that have headed south to escape the cold northern winters.
