Sightseeing
Love this park! Nice loop for a walk, jog or bike ride. Nice forest like path for possible animal/reptile sightings! and intercostal waterway view as well. Also you may rent peddle boats or kayaks on their little waterway. There also is a restaurant tucked away that has frozes, beers and food. A lot of times there is live music too!

I haven't done this yet, but have been dying to!
From what i've heard the food isn't spectacular, so the recommendation is to go for a regular cruise and get food elsewhere.

Rent kayaks take a paddle out to the sandbar. Great day !
I believe they have other types of boats as well.
Next thing I want to try is biking through the park itself!

10/10 recommend ! We rented bikes and biked the whole park. I think it was 12 or 17 miles. Exhausting, but truly worth it!
I think they have trams that go through as well
