Holts Landing State Park
For the hikers, the 1.1 mile Seahawk Trail takes you through a conifer and hardwood forest, and lands you in a meadow. The 1.2 mile Seahorse Trail also takes you through dense forest and meadow areas. Your pup will love this adventure, just be sure to keep them leashed throughout the park.
Water lovers can head to the pier that extends in to Indian River Bay for clamming, crabbing, boating, and water sports. Clamming spots can be found to the west of the pier, while boat and kayak launches can be found to the east. You can fish and catch crabs right off the pier, and wade in the water for mussels and clams. Make sure to get your permits before you come to the park.
