Parks & Swimming

To the north of Macclenny lies the origin of the St. Marys River as it flows northeast from the bio diverse region of the Okefenokee Swamp. Fifteen minutes southwest of downtown lies over a 250,000 acres of mesic pine flatwoods with natural cypress swamps and the area's largest freshwater lake. Whether you are a backpacker looking for the most primitive Florida campsite or an avid boater looking for a waterfront spur with hookups, Baker County parks and freshwater beach options will meet your needs
