Wonderful park with free Ferry boat ride over to the nature trails. In the middle of all the tourists you are alone on an island. Many picnic tables for snacks or lunches. Restrooms and water bottle filling station. Good excursion for the day and come back to splash in the splash pad and playground.

A great place to visit if you are looking for some time away from the beach. The ferry is free and there is always a friendly staff member willing to answer your questions. There are picnic areas through the trails and a bathroom at the start. Go for a short walk or stay for an afternoon!

Take the free ferry to the island. Tell the pilots you want to rent a paddle board or kayak. Kayaking around the island is fun. Gopher turtles not above ground when I visited. The island is very jungle like. Lovely trees, palms, greenery and some flowers. There are boardwalks and ground trails and picnic groves. A lot of people were lost on the trails, make sure to grab a map. Saw blue herons and egrets, adult and babies, iguanas, anones.Fish were jumping in the canals. Big boats on the intercoastal, some made big waves. There are bathrooms and water fountains on the island, small boat dock area and picnic areas. Some people claimed to have seen a gopher turtle. Make sure to sign in and out on the attendance sheet while on the ferry.

We all loved the trail. The boat ride is free. They had an education stand where we did scavenger hunt. The grandkids enjoyed the day

Had the most amazing time here on Deerfield Island Park! Carlos was a spectacular tour guide and is truly knowledgeable about the nature and the park itself! Can't wait to go back and explore some more!

The island is quite nice and tranquil. We found the shuttle easy for transport over to the island. We walked every path on the island and like the other reviews said, it is jungle like. I had been here a number of years ago and I thought the renovations to the paths to be great. I liked all the informative signs too. We saw birds, crabs, iguanas, and oh so many spiders. They were sizable too! Some were hanging in the paths or overhead. On the bright side, they weren't really moving around, just hanging out, so you could avoid them. I would recommend the island but I do want to emphasize the spiders.

Deerfield Island Park was a wonderful scenic area that my family and friends really enjoyed! Specifically, the Mangrove Trail was a wonderful trail for sightseeing and more! We even saw a few (scary) bugs! The park is free, parking is also free, and the boat ride is free. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trail to everyone.
