We planned our trip to Fort Clinch to do some Geo Caching. We brought our bicycles to travel from point to point taking in as much as we could that the park offered. It was a thrill to visit the Fort, look out over the beach and water from the top of the Fort and get a great history lesson....

Great historical site! Well maintained and plenty of things to see and do. It also provides a nice view of the ocean and Saint Mary's inlet.

Found this to be very beautiful and tranquil. Neat to stand on the fort's walls and look over to Cumberland Island.

This is our absolute favorite place to camp. We stay at the river campground. It is nice and shady and next to the river. If you are determined to be near the beach, there is a campground there, but there is NO shade. It is basically a parking lot. The sites here are large, private, and all near the bathhouse....

The actors here are great. They stay in character and they really will respond as though it is 1864. A unique experience, so if you go, embrace the step back in time.

We really liked Fort Clinch State Park. To be honest, my husband is a history buff, so I planned on us going primarily for him. I have been to similar places and they always seem to just bore me. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with Fort Clinch and my three sons (ages 13, 11, & 7) absolutely loved it....

Historic Ft Clinch State Park is located at the north end of Amelia Island. Besides the fort itself, the park has 6 miles of bike and hiking trails, two campgrounds, beautiful beaches and and long fishing pier. Plan to spend at least several hours going through the fort. They have re-enactments of the Fort during civil war times a couple...

Fort Clinch State Park is a beautiful area and my family really enjoyed visiting the fort. It was very well maintained and the rooms were made to look as they would have in the 1860s. My two year old even enjoyed the fort because of all the cannons (he thought pirates must live there with all the cannons and "treasure"...
