It provides an excellent opportunity to relax with family/friends in a beautiful environment. You can choose between cabins and glamping tents, all of which are wonderfully maintained.

Do yourself a favor and go.

I've spotted alligators, blue heron, turtles, lizards.. very cool! All the campsite hosts are friendly and our check-in was very easy and we were also greeted with welcoming service. We chose campsite number 479 right next to Mission Lake and the pedestrian bridge that takes you to the ocean. This campground is so clean, beautiful, and offers multiple bathrooms with showers and restrooms. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have enough space to shower and change. Each campsite I've seen has a dump station and water, which has come in handy. There's also Wi-Fi! There's also a restaurant on the campgrounds and tomorrow night we are going to listen to live music and have a few drinks. I've truly loved my stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone! We were only going to stay for four nights but we extended it to a week because we are having such a great time.

Now, there is a developed parking area, a mile-long boardwalk with lots of places to rest, walk down to the water, swim, etc. There are signs describing flora and fauna.

You sign a waiver and you have to weigh between 70 to 250 pounds for the zip line. Our two tour guides Jaeda and Spencer were amazing. As someone who's never zip lined before, they were comforting and patient. I think this zip line tour was good for beginners and kids. I think there were 10(?) zip lines that were approx 300 feet each. I'd prefer a longer one next time!

It could use a bit more parking, however, I did get a decent enough spot. This is not a huge riverwalk, but it is still pretty cool. When I say it is not big, I mean that it is very small. It's small enough that you can walk it in a matter of a few minutes. All in all, I enjoyed my time at this cool little riverwalk. I can guarantee that if I lived in the area, I would be here on a pretty regular basis. If you find yourself in Milton, Florida, go check this out. I am confident that you will appreciate this and will enjoy your time here. Overall, I will give it five stars as a rating and it definitely has earned my recommendation. Go check it out.
