North Anclote River Nature Park

Located just beside the parking lot, the playground has swings, and 2 jungle gyms. There are two picnic tables in this area, and a water fountain outside the playground restroom.

Picnic Tables

The park has two picnic tables near the playground area, and a few more dotted around the park in various locations. There are no grills here, so you’ll want to bring ready-to-eat foods.

Benches

You can take a break or enjoy the views on the benches that are scattered along the trails.

Viewing Dock

The main trail ends at the park’s ADA-accessible viewing dock. Here you can find a few benches, a picnic table, and a bike rack.

Fishing Pier

The park has a fishing pier(don’t forget to check the license requirements). To get to the pier, follow the canoe/kayak launch trail past the launch site. You will also find a picnic table and a bike rack at the pier.

Trails

Walk or bike the crushed shell trails at North Anclote River Nature Park. The main trail is out-and-back, with a mix of sun and shade, while the small side trails are mostly shaded. While roaming the trails you may hear the faint sound of traffic in the distance, but it won’t spoil the peace and tranquility of the park.

Restrooms

The park has two restrooms available. One is by the playground and the other is along the canoe/kayak launch trail.

Canoe & Kayak Launch

You can explore the Anclote River from the park’s kayak launch. However, be aware that it is about a half-mile trek to the launch, so you may want to bring a cart.

Dog Friendly

Leashed dogs are welcome at North Anclote River Nature Park. You will find a dog waste station with baggies at the trailhead entrance.
