I spent Christmas 2021 here and let me tell you!!! Throughout my whole journey I was at peace. All the exploring, bike riding, the animals and birds, the water… not to mention It seemed like my friend and I were the only ppl in the world there. It was absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad I have access to such beauty. Thank you Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

I did the Rock Springs Loops trail. It’s very much your standard Florida trail but there were a couple extra enjoyable points on the trail. The path was fairly well maintained though the sand gets fairly loose and deep at times. All in all an average Florida trail for an average walk with my dog.
Camp is rustic but has bathhouse and showers. Some picket poles need to be replaced. 12 stall barn and water for the horses. Trails are mostly open without shade cover. The trail markings and trail maps leave lots of room for improvement but great cell service so GPS tracking worked well.
I called to get information before coming to Rock Springs Run State Reserve, and it would have been nice if the girl who I spoke with, let me know that hunting would be going on that day. If I would have known, I would have never came here. Because of the hunting, my fiancé and I could only walk on one side of the road, which is the side where horseback riding is done. I don't understand why hunting is allowed at a state reserve anyway. There should be a discounted price on days when hunting is going on, since you can't even walk the whole area. I did get some nice pictures of butterflies, and saw some deer that day. Saw lots of different animal prints in the sand as well, so that is why I'm giving 3 stars. Just wasn't too impressed with the hunting, and not being told about it before driving all the way over to the reserve.
The navigation to the park is beyond awful. I would highly sugest to people with families to avoid coming to this park as the intention of enjoying the nature is disturbed by multiple entrances that are open only during hunting season. After accidentaly visiting many of those closed entrances, I was so happy to leave the area because I got tired from driving. I am coming from the thirld world country and I thought I know what is badly marked guidance to the national reserve/park, but this is way beyond that. I live half an hour away and I decided to come and visit, but after two hours driving in circle, I really persisted, and had to give up. I parked at one of haciendas and tried calling the management office of the spring, but there is only automated phone service and no help. If this is this poorly managed, I don’t want to know how the park is managed inside. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, but I had no one to talk to from the park and it is a matter for the public to know.
Another great trail ride! Lol i just wish they had a monthly membership. This is looking like a twice a month Adventure. Tour guides are absolutely amazing! The horses couldn't be more sweet. We all around love this place!
I started out with a rented cayak from kings landing... It is a really nice river, but you need to plan enough time if you don't want to hurry... The river run is about 8.5 miles long or so... You'll see lots of wildlife, go through the week days so you won't have to many people...
Thank you everybody for enjoying my views please take these pictures the grand assault I'm posting them to let you know what's around Rock Springs run Park right now the horseback riding is still a treat for non Floridians so don't think of it is a total waste but the beauty from the roads going to view is gone and I'm not sure if it'll ever come back honesty is my best policy when it comes to this particular subject so please don't fault me four beings once again Florida Stone signing off
