Admission and Hours
There is no entrance charge. Florida state parks are open between 8 a.m. and sundown every day of the year (including holidays). The park actually has no access to Dunn's Creek waterway at all. There is a 1.2 mile walk into what is known as the "Blue Pond". It is a sinkhole full of water and has yet to be explored. Thought to be very, very deep, it has steep sides and only a few water lilies growing at one edge. It is an easy hike in to view the pond and the area is very peaceful and quiet.
