Amazing hiking and breathtaking views. February is the Azalea 🌺 Festival. Azaleas bloom December - April.

A ravine was created over thousands of years by water flowing from the sandy ridges on the shore of the St. Johns River. In 1933, this ravine was transformed into a dramatic garden by the federal Works Progress Administration. Much of the original landscaping still exists as formal gardens and an extensive trail system. A 1.8-mile paved road winds around the ravine, offering motorists and bicyclists a view of the gardens. The Ravine Loop is closed to vehicle traffic one hour before sunset, but remains open for pedestrians, bicycles, and wheelchairs. The garden's peak flowering period is azalea season, late January to April.

A must see for Nature lovers! William Bartram came through here centuries ago so this is a lovely place to check out for those who are naturalists, hikers, or just need a dose of Nature. It's a state park that is 20 minute walk or a 4 min drive from the Bartram Inn.
