Fort George Island Cultural State Park is a Florida state park located on Fort George Island in far northeast Duval County/Jacksonville, Florida. The site was previously very near a major Timucua (Native American) center, where Spaniards founded the mission of San Juan del Puerto, It is home to the Ribault Inn Club, constructed in 1928 as a winter resort and now used as a visitors' center for the nearby Kingsley Plantation and the island as a whole.[1] Many weddings are held there.
Besides visiting the nearby Kingsley Plantation, other activities include off-road bicycling, hiking, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Amenities include a 4.4miles-long loop bicycle trail, boat ramp, a 3miles hiking/biking trail, and a beach. The park is open from 8:00 am until sundown year-round. There is no admission charge.
