 For this episode, I went swimming at Huguenot Memorial Park. To get here, take 295 to Heckshire Drive and head east until you see the park entrance on the right. It is located north of the St. John's River and is situated directly above the inlet. The park is open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Making it a great place for surfers to catch some waves at sunrise or sunset. There's a $5 admission fee to enter the park per vehicle and a $3 admission fee for pedestrians on foot or bike. Inside the park there is an informative nature center sitting next to the park campgrounds making this area a great place to camp overnight. Huguenot Memorial Park is a wonderful place to swim paddleboard kayak and surf. It has all of the amenities you need for a day outdoors and is overseen by lifeguards who are very well trained. The park has over 300 acres of land to explore that is considered by the Deval Audubon Society to be the premier birding site in Deval County. It contains a strategic habitat conservation area, a critical wildlife area and a great Florida birding trail designated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The most special part of Huguenot is the fact that you can drive your car right onto the beach. This is one of my favorite places in Jacksonville to surf in the early morning and watch the sun come up and is also a favorite for many locals. I encourage you to get outside and explore this area for yourself and remember to leave no trace. Similar beaches in the area can be found at Little Taba Island and Hannah Park. Protect our park system, spread awareness and never stop exploring. I'll see you on the trail next time.
