Pope Duval Fish Management
I know that I keep posting about parks in the Jacksonville Area but that is probably the only FREE thing still available to the general public. And these parks are a resource for us to use to spend time with our family and friends located close to home. The State of Florida has another park on the Northside called the Pope Duval Fish Management Area located at 13500 Beaver Street Jacksonville FL
My family and I ran across this park while we were cruising around on the Northside looking for new places to picnic and go fishing. This 400 acre park is well worth the drive for those who like to do a quiet spot of fishing or just relaxing in the woods. As with any park the best times to go is during the week if you want to stay out of the crowd. There are several little ponds to fish in with picnic tables, Bar B Q grills, and hiking trails with elevated wooden walkways. We didn’t get a chance to explore the whole area as they haven’t grated most of the dirt roads yet and it started to rain while we were there. We have included some pictures below for you to see what the park looks like and some of the things available for you and your family to enjoy.
