Koreshan State Historic Site preserves the former site of the Koreshan Unity religious colony, which was originally founded in New York state in the 1870s and seceded the last of its colony lands in Florida in 1961. Since 1976, the historic site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated as a Florida state park, protecting beautiful pine flatwoods ecosystems. Park visitors can observe extensive populations of native Florida wildlife in its natural habitat, ranging from bobcats and gray foxes to American alligators and North American river otters. Opportunities for outdoor recreation include chances for fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking, and overnight camping.
