Phillips Inlet, and Lake Powell. The diversity
provided by the three different water bodies creates
a habitat for wildlife that includes rare shorebirds,
and Bald Eagles. The 183.5 acre park contains
maritime hammocks, freshwater wetlands, sand pine
scrub, coastal dunes, as well as a salt marsh.
The lodge at Camp Helen, and its cottages offer
a look at how tourist spent their vacations in
the 1940’s. Be prepared to hike a bit to
enjoy this park’s wonderful trails and beaches.
Fishing for both fresh and saltwater species has
traditionally been popular at Camp Helen.
