Colt Creek State Park

Purchased from the Overstreet Family in May of 2006, this 5067 acre park nestled amongst the Green Swamp Wilderness Area and named after one its tributaries is one of the newest state park acquisitions. Comprised mainly of pine forests, cypress domes and open pasture land, this piece of pristine wilderness is home to many animal species including the American Bald Eagle, Sherman’s Fox Squirrel, Gopher Tortoise, White-Tail Deer and Wild Turkey. The park has limited access while the Unit Management Plan is being developed for the area. Limited use during this time includes an improved gravel access road off of State Road 471, parking area, restroom, informational kiosk, and covered pavilion with picnic tables and grill. A limited trail system for hiking and horseback riding will allow visitors to begin exploration of this natural wonderland.
