Confirmed from Faver-Dykes State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Faver-Dykes State Park
“The bathrooms were clean and the boat launch was nice with floating docks.”
“Great fishing piers with running water and fish cleaning stations, a gorgeous picnic area with pavilions, ample parking, and a beautiful shaded area, beautiful campground.”
“Beautiful scenery, quiet, and with nice rangers.”
Spent one night at site 22 in February. Beautiful long, winding drive through native Florida to enter the campground. All roads, paths and campsites are sand. Site was easy to park and level with easy connection to electric and water. Included fire ring and picnic table as well as clothes line (with included line).
We reserved for an overnight stay at the campground and enjoyed our experience! We saw deer, gopher tortoise, baby armadillo, interesting birds, and raccoon! Make sure to pick up all items from the picnic table at your site while chatting around the fire at night.
Great rustic park! Don't expect any luxuries.. If you want to get away, this place is great for getting back to nature.. Good roads, a little narrow, but nice and level and they smooth it out once in awhile. Bathroom are nice and clean and trails are nice to explore.
This Florida State Park is a gem in the rough. Its 3 miles back from route 1 right off of route 95. Small park with only 30 sites. Every spot is secluded from each other. The maintenance guy will even rake every spot out for the next campers.
