Blackwater River State Park is considered one of
the purest sandbottom rivers in the world, the Blackwater
River is in its natural state for almost its entire
length.
Beginning 45 miles upstream in Alabama, it continues
downstream for 13 miles before emptying into Blackwater
Bay. The river's sand bottom, dark tannin waters
and contrasting large, white sandbars have drawn
worldwide attention and provide the perfect setting
for this 590- acre park.
Hours of Operation
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown
365 days a year.
