Reviews
"This is one of the best parks in Florida, if not my favorite so far. It was a hidden gem, gorgeous and not too busy. There are strenuous hikes that are great and easy paths right next to it. It was gorgeous and everything was well-kept. Live laugh love Ravine Garden State Park."
"The azaleas were in bloom (Feb) adding an enchanting element to an already beautiful hike. I loved the hiking trail with its steep, stone steps and crisscrossing roots - a trekking pole is recommended. Nice facility with restrooms on site."
"Great place to walk/hike, it has a paved road for cars, bikes, or walking. Lots of picnic areas. Great placs for the family, even has a playground. Not just for experienced hikers, but has some of those trails too."
"Beautiful! They have 4 different trails of varying difficulty. In my opinion even the hardest is not that challenging but it's about 4 miles long. They have lots of tiny streams, outlook viewpoints, hanging bridges here. Plenty of parking is available inside the park as well as on the outside. There's a children's playground inside. Restrooms are available at reasonable intervals. There's a golf course next to the park. The streams can have gators in them! They also have places to sit and have snacks inside the park. Fun place to spend about 2-3 hrs relaxing with your loved ones!"
"I was in the area and found this on the maps and decided to check it out. Wow, what a nice park. The hiking trails were great and the scenery was beautiful. It was hard to believe I was in in Florida with the up and down of the trails. I would definitely come back. The actual garden was nice but quite small."
