Living Bear Wise @ Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

Join Topsail Hill Preserve State Park and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a Living Bear Wise program at the park on Monday January 2, 2017 from 10:00a.m. - 11:00a.m.  Come learn about the Florida Black Bears that call the park home.  Black Bears are the largest land mammal here in Florida as well as being a protected species.  While you may not see them in the park during your visit you can definitely see evidence of their presence, especially if you walk along the Turpentine Trail.     

Please check in at the Ranger Station for starting location. Program is free with regular park admission.

Keep bears wild, be BearWise! Learn more about Florida Black Bears and FWC's BearWise programs. 

 Park programs are made possible by Friends of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Come out and explore one of the most beautiful state park preserves in South Walton, Florida.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, located on the west side of Scenic 30A in South Walton, offers a wide variety of natural resources including 3.2 miles of secluded, white sand beaches with majestic dunes over 25 feet tall. Three rare coastal dune lakes provide excellent freshwater fishing. Although boats are not allowed, fishing from the shoreline yields bass, bream, panfish, and catfish. Lakes, pristine beaches, old-growth long leaf pines, sand pine scrub, and a variety of wetlands offer a bird-watching and hiking paradise. Visitors may bike, walk, or enjoy a quick ride to the beach on our timely tram service to swim, fish, sunbathe, or beachcomb. Gregory E. Moore RV resort features a (non-heated) swimming pool and shuffleboard courts. Furnished bungalows are available for weekly stays. A camp store offers a variety of camping items, as well as snacks and drinks.
