Manager's Message
Autumn is in the air and there’s no better way to take advantage of the ‘fall’-ing
temperatures than at Faver-Dykes State Park. The cooler weather is great for
camping and canoeing on Pellicer Creek. We look forward to seeing you soon.
- Douglas Carter, Park Manager
Welcome to Faver-Dykes State Park
Noted for its pristine condition, this tranquil park borders Pellicer Creek as
it winds along Florida's east coast highways down to the Matanzas River.
Pellicer Creek is a popular site for birding with more than one hundred bird
species seen during spring and fall migrations. Songbirds, including the
colorful wood warblers, along with eagles and falcons, return to nest at the
park each year. Wading birds, such as egrets, wood storks, white ibis, and
herons, feed in the tidal marshes and creeks. This peaceful park is also home to
deer, turkeys, hawks, bobcats, and river otters. Fishing, picnicking, and nature
walks are popular activities. Pellicer Creek is a designated state canoe trail
and visitors can rent canoes at the park. A full-facility campground is
available for overnight stays. Located 15 miles south of St. Augustine near the
intersection of I-95 and U.S. 1.
