werner-boyce salt springs state park印象
-
One of Florida's newest additions to the state park system, this coastal beauty is a mecca for paddlers and photographers. Tucked behind the Gulfview Square Mall more than 4000 acres of coastal fresh/salt marsh estuary system beckons to be explored by any adventuresome soul. New entrance, walking trails, and according to the park ranger new kayak launch and restroom and overlook facilities are in the near future. Visit now, and visit again when the service and their volunteer Friends group improve access to this spectacular piece of the Real Florida.

This park is a nice little hideaway. There really isn't much to do here but fish and just relax. I come here to just get away from everyone and be silent.

We didn't really use the park, just drove in and saw a few cars indicating to us that others must be using the trails. There was no obvious information available for visitors. Entrance fee was $3.

Earlier today I drove over with my dad on a reconnoissance mission of sorts to see if this park was worthy to come back to with the rest of our family. We got our answer!We drove into the newest section which is the main entrance. Being this is a state park, the entrance fee is $3. It is a self-pay on your honor station, which is fine, but once you deposit your money, there is no pass to take, no receipt as a proof of purchase. In fact, as we later found, in our opinion, they shouldn't be charging anything right now.After paying our money we drove down the road and began to pass a small parking area until we realized, that's all there was. A small parking lot with a couple old picnic tables... and that's about it. We couldn't figure out where the rest of the park was. We found out there were some other entrances so we went to check those out. Unfortunately, they had even less to offer. The main entrance is still under construction that can be seen. Even once completed this park will offer very little... a kayak launch, trails and picnic tables. No playground, no restrooms, no swimming, no beach, no picnic shelters, no plans to put any in! It's a huge area of protected land.I don't mind paying a few bucks for a nice park, but $3 is truly a rip off here! I just don't get it. Perhaps once this park is complete it might be nicer, but if it is I think it will only be marginal. There are many nicer parks with more to offer for less money. Go to Jay B. Starkey, James Grey Preserve or one of the many others, but don't waste your time and money at Werner-Boyce Salt Springs.I've included a few pictures you can see for yourself.If you found this review helpful, please let me know by clicking the button below!

Werner-Boyce is a good place to protect the enviroment, but I'm not sure why the State wants to protect this land. Nothing much there. My wife is a birder and the day we were there, she wasn't satisfied. It was rainy, however.

If you are looking for a place to hike or a place to walk this may be for you. But ... one of the trails when we were there was under water so we had to turn back and then we walked around and came in from the other way we again wound up walking back. It appears to be a work in progress. Fun for a quick walk but not something I would go back for except for it was close to where we were staying. There is a $3 fee to enter the park so you may wish to also consider that when you make your decision. I'm glad we went and will check it out again in a couple of years. They have been working on this for at least three years so far and it likely will take longer than that to finish the work that needs to be done.

It's not a huge attraction but it is a nice place to walk. Not sure if dogs are allowed but believe so - we took ours in big kept him on a leash.

Beautiful pristine park. Awesome for kayaking to head north or a little south west to durney key. Easy access, a charm in Port Richey.

We enjoyed the short hiking trails but the highlight of our visit was seeing the eaglets in their nest through the telescope of another visitor. Unfortunately we did not see the mother eagle. This is a new park which is not yet well marked or signed . However the ranger there was a wonderful young man who was most helpful explaining matters related to the eagles and other park details.
