About the Business
Saint Marks River Preserve State Park is a beautiful natural oasis located in Tallahassee, Florida.

With an extensive system of trails for hiking, horseback riding, and off-road bicycling, there is something for everyone to explore.
The park's road network winds through upland pine forests, hardwood thickets, and natural plant communities along the river, providing a picturesque backdrop for outdoor adventures. Wildlife is abundant in the park, with black bear, turkey, deer, fox, raccoon, and opossum all making appearances. The sounds of birds fill the air, adding to the peaceful ambiance of the park.

Reviews
"Every entrance was closed out marked as no trespassing private property, spent an hour trying to find a way in but it does not seem to be a real park. The number that is on Google is dead and there were no directions as to how to actually get in."
"Plenty of parking. No restrooms. Quiet walk"
"I love St Mark! It is a great get away! And of course the trail is fantastic!!!!"
"Great hike or bike. About 3 miles one way. There are bears. Both times I visited I saw a momma bear and two Cubs (June 2019). They ran away but they do love in that area. Also saw turkeys lots of deer and a few snakes and an owl and a small bird with an orange beek."
"Just the right amount of trails for an out and back day hike. Trails are sandy with most of it just plowed fire lines. It has the main trail with a few side loops for extra mileage. No bridge across the St. Marks River at the north side of the park, so unless there are drought conditions you can't cross without getting wet/muddy. You will likely be the only one hiking here!"
