Park History: Long before the first European settlers entered the region this was prime hunting and fishing ground for the Timucuan Native American tribe. In the late 19th and early 20th century much of the land was harvested for it's timber resources and was even a private hunting resort owned by a local hunting club before becoming a State Park in 1969.
