About the Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park
Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park is a fascinating historical site located in Jacksonville, Florida. This park was a crucial military position during the Civil War, providing access to the inland areas of Florida's east coast. Although there was never a physical fort at Yellow Bluff, the site was fortified and armed with large guns for protection. During the Civil War, both Confederate and Union troops occupied the area, with over 250 soldiers stationed at its peak. The park features T-shaped earthworks covering approximately 1.3 acres. Visitors can explore this important piece of history and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Yellow Bluff peninsula on the north side of the St. Johns River.

Reviews of Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park
"A historic place without much visible history. There is a Florida State Park sign, a marker put up by the Daughters of the Confederacy, and some heavily rusted cannons, but that's about it. Two picnic tables, no facilities, and a few very short paths. Stopped to have lunch and activate the park for Parks on the Air, which went well. One of the most interesting things there is a Live Oak tree with its roots exposed by erosion along one of the trails."
"There isn't anything really here except for some poor looking cannons that don't even look real, two picnic tables, and this Confederate plaque."
"Had heard about this place all of my life. Very quiet. Not much to see. A few old cannons and some picnic tables"
"There is nothing here to visit except a handful of markers and a short trail. I did not feel safe visiting this location because it is practically in someone’s backyard. This park needs some love and care if it’s going to remain a state park."
"Hopefully, they will continue to improve this spot. A bit of signage or even one sign directing you to a website with more info would be nice. Overall, the small park is as expected. I love the cannons they have set up, the small trail through and around the place and the picnic bench."
