Loved our visit to this state park! We visited on a Saturday in April. It was very quiet with only one other car while we visited. I cannot believe how much wild life we saw. There are beautiful, clean facilities and many trails ranging from 20 minutes to about 1 hour to hike or stroll. The water lilies are beautiful and the owl was my favorite. There is no actual fort anymore, but plenty of history to read about. We have a state park pass, but the entry fee of $3 is VERY reasonable for such a great park!

Fort Cooper State Park is where it really all came together in my brain as far as the Seminole War history here in Florida. The way the trails from Fort to Fort line up throughout the state helps one to understand how Florida became what it is today. For the visitor, Fort Cooper SP had excellent trails, a mix of paved and wide nature trails, with a remade wall showing where the fort used to be. There was lots of information along the trail to learn about the history, and it was really neat to see a Military Road where the Wagon Trails were. For families it was a beautiful area with a playground for kids, and event space, and pretty grounds to set up an event or party that are available to be reserved. They were beautiful lake views everywhere and wonderful large Live Oaks throughout throughout the park offering shade and beauty. It truly was a beautiful park.
