Collier Seminole State Park is home to a National Historic Mechanical Landmark, the Bay City Walking Dredge, which was used to build the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades. The 6,430-acre park is filled with mangrove and cypress swamp, salt marshes, and mangrove river estuaries and wildlife, including alligators, raccoons, ospreys, and white ibis. Park-goers are welcome to enjoy activities such as biking, fishing, and picnicking as well as canoeing along the 13.6-mile canoe trail that flows down the Black River through a mangrove forest. In addition, Collier Seminole State Park boasts special events such as guided nature walks and a ranger's choice program. And if you choose to spend the night, don't miss the campfire circle, where campers can view slide programs on a variety of topics with park rangers.

Camping in the park's 46 sites and picnicking are also popular. In the winter, anglers bundle up for ice fishing. Check Rifle Gap's current boating, fishing and other Conditions.
