Fort Clinch State Park

Entrance to Fort Clinch© 2006 Dawn Henthorn, licensed to About.com, Inc.
A Civil War era fort — Fort Clinch — is the main attraction at Fort Clinch State Park. A tour of the fort will take you back to 1864 and what life might have been like for a Union soldier. Authentic furnishings and first-person character accounts bring history to life.

There is plenty to do at Fort Clinch State Park — camping, swimming, fishing, bicycling, hiking and more. There are 62 campsites in two separate campgrounds — one is oceanfront with a natural dunes backdrop. The three-mile canopied park drive is a great exercise path, or try biking or hiking the challenging six-mile off-road path. Shells and shark teeth are frequent finds along the beaches.
