Price notesPriced per vehicle, not per person - priceVal is null because the park publishes no per-adult admission. SEASONAL FLAG: swimming season runs April 1-November 14; from November 15-March 31 the spring run is closed to swimming and all water activities as a manatee refuge (boardwalk manatee viewing continues). The park often fills to capacity - arrive early or reserve ahead (see resNote). Florida State Parks Annual Pass - see Perks.
Age notesFlorida State Parks publishes no age tiers for day use; the spring is a designated manatee refuge in winter - boardwalk viewing rather than swimming (see priceNote seasonal flag).
