Since 1970, the site has been protected on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can access the park via boat from the nearby Koreshan State Historic Site or Lovers Key State Park and explore the park's interactive informational trail, which detail the historical context of the park's preserved artifacts. Outdoor recreational opportunities include chances for saltwater fishing, boating, and wildlife watching for native bird and marine species, including manatees and dolphins.
