Collier-Seminole State Park contains one of the largest mangrove swamps in the world. With the swamps and the closed-canopy forests there is an abundance of rare wildlife, including Florida panthers, bobcats, and gopher tortoises. Alligators may be seen throughout the park. Stunning Royal Palm trees and hardwood forests are home to over 150 species of birds, which can be seen along the park’s many hiking trails.

The trails wind through mangrove forests and beyond to the Ten Thousand Island National Wildlife Refuge. Canoes and kayaks can be rented to paddle down Blackwater River, and kayak and pole-boat tours of the river are offered by park rangers. The park has picnic pavilions, a 120-site campground with full hookups, and several children’s playgrounds.
