About the Waccasassa Bay Preserve State Park
Waccasassa Bay Preserve State Park is a stunning park located at 8312 Southwest 125th Avenue in Inglis, Florida, United States. Accessible only by boat, this park offers sweeping vistas and waterways that are popular among anglers and wildlife watchers. Bordering Florida's Gulf Coast between Cedar Key and Yankeetown, the park features extensive salt marshes and tidal creeks that provide rich habitat for saltwater fish, crabs, and shellfish. The horizon-to-horizon expanses of salt marsh are interspersed with dense tree islands of red cedar, cabbage palm, and live oak, creating a picturesque backdrop for boating, fishing, and wildlife observation.
Visitors may spot sea turtles and manatees using the seagrass beds and other estuarine and marine communities in the preserve. The hydric hammock that borders the estuary is one of the last remaining remnants of the once vast Gulf Hammock, now protected as a reminder of Florida's expansive hardwood forests. The Waccasassa River offers a unique boating or paddling experience as it passes through the hydric hammock and the estuary before draining into the Gulf of Mexico.
Public boat ramps can be found in Cedar Key to the west, in the town Gulf Hammock on the Waccasassa River, and in Yankeetown to the south. Whether you're looking to explore the diverse marine ecosystems, go fishing, or simply enjoy the natural beauty of this unique preserve, Waccasassa Bay Preserve State Park offers a memorable outdoor experience for all visitors.
