The Savannas Preserve State Park is the largest, most conserved remainder of the savannas on Florida's east coast. 

The savannas are a 10-mile stretch of freshwater marshes from Jensen Beach to Fort Pierce. The land is home to many diverse habitats and is an endangered natural system. 

The state park entrance to the savannas includes an Environmental Education Center, hiking trails, and canoe/kayak access points.

The undisturbed area is a favorite for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts with its beautiful scenery, wild flowers, birds, and other animals. Eight miles of trails are often used for biking, hiking, and horesback riding. The most popular activities in the park are fishing, canoeing and kayaking. 

The park offers guided walks and kayak tours to educate guests on the importance of the area and about its inhabitants.
