Short nature trails, a fishing and viewing pier, a canoe/kayak launch, picnic areas, and pavilions. Short drive away.

Dutton Island Preserve is what’s known as a “passive park.” This means that it isn’t decked out with crazy amenities that are designed to draw in visitors. Instead, Dutton Island Preserve exists as a quiet, tranquil place where people are allowed to come and go as they please. It’s part of the Timucuan Parks Foundation that was created to honor the land of Florida’s early Native Americans, so part of its appeal is its untouched nature. There’s still plenty to do, however, so it’ll be a fun trip for you and your family. You can explore three miles of hiking trails; you can rent a canoe or kayak to enjoy an afternoon on the water. There are also observation decks everywhere if you want to view the birds, mammals, reptiles and fish of the salt marshes. Dutton Island Preserve isn’t a showstopper destination in Jacksonville, but if you’re interested in quiet, pretty places where you can unwind from the big-city lights and sounds, it might be right up your alley.

Our happy place. Less than .3 mile away. We love to SUP fish and bird watch there. This place has 2 fishing piers, 2 kayaks launches, nature trails for walking or biking. There are several picnic areas. Clean bathrooms and water fountains near the pavilion. If you need to rent kayaks or SUP call Beach Life Rentals!
