Park itself is closed for whatever they’re doing. There’s no notice that you drive up to a police officer sitting in the middle of the driveway. And you basically have to go fend for yourself.Full review by Michael C

Not sure about the boat ride but it is quite a distance from the park at the tip of the island to the village center. At the tip there is just the park and a restaurant within walking distance. If you take a boat just to the park at the tip you would have a very long walk to anywhere. A car would work better. If you can take a bike on the boat then you would be all set. From the toll bridge to the tip of the island is about 7 miles with the village about in the middle. Nice bike ride on the bike path but a bit of a hike on foot in warm weather.
Sammy stated that they went tarpon fishing while in the park. I am considering a visit and would like to know more specifically where folks fish for tarpon in the park. Thanks Greg
