| Park Activities
Picnicking
Picnicking is a pleasure with our forty picnic tables
and three large shelters. A paved path and specially
designed tables make the facilities accessible to persons
with mobility concerns. The pavilions are very popular
places for birthday parties, baby showers, reunions,
and church or company functions. Modern playground equipment
adds to the family enjoyment.
Fishing
The Peace River and Payne Creek together provide
excellent fishing. Most freshwater species can be
caught and saltwater snook frequently travel upstream
from Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico.
Canoeing
Use the park as the start or end of a trip on the
Peace River or just paddle down the creek and into
the river.
Natural Trails
Approximately, six miles of trails meander along
Payne Creek and through the various natural communities.
These trails provide excellent routes for wildlife
observation, photography, walking, jogging, or just
wandering and enjoying the sounds of nature.
Nature Photography
Early morning or late afternoon is the best time of
day for nature photography just about any day of the
year. During the winter months there is frequently fog
laying low adding to the opportunities for unique images. |
