Torreya State Park - State park in Bristol - 2576 NW Torreya Park Rd, USA

What a great hike experience. No flat Florida here. Lol! The Apalachicola River was beautiful. There is remaining damage from Hurricane Michael but that is an education and does not take away from the adventure. The stone bridge was cool. Missed out on seeing the waterfall because we ran out of daylight, shorter winter days. Great park. We'll definitely go again

Website says one of the trails is 6.7 miles. Turned out to be 7.83 miles. Also said it was a moderate hike. It was a hard hike and a challenge for me. Beautiful but challenging.

Small small rustic campground with the basics but nice and clean inquiry Google did not show where the gate was at was about 2 miles off. no real check in go to your spot, go by the office on a table should be your pass for your parking, otherwise see the campground host.

Advanced hiking. If you think florida is just a flat swamp, this place will change your mind

The trails behind the Gregory House are the best. Go down one trail and walk beside the river and back up the other trail to return to the Gregory House.

We absolutely love this State Park. We live in western New York but enjoy travelling, camping and hiking throughout the U.S. We visited this park about 15 years ago and this year we decided to come back. There have been dramatic and devastating changes in the park since we were last there because the park is located within a path frequented by intense storms in the last decade, including Hurricane Michael in 2018, which damaged all of the forests in the park. Despite these challenges, park staff have made amazing efforts to make sure that park visitors can safely visit as much of the park as possible. The campground is great, with spotless bathrooms and water and electric outlets in most sites. We stayed in one the two yurts, which offer a delightful deck with a picnic table, a campfire ring and a gorgeous view into the adjacent forested ravine. We went on the 6-mile challenge hike and were impressed with the work the park has done to make the trails passable despite the many trees that fell during the hurricane. We thought the trail was great as it meandered back and forth through so many beautiful and interesting plant communities giving the hiker a real sense of adventure. Some of the bridge crossings over small streams still need to be repaired and may look intimidating but this 64-year old woman with advanced arthritis in both knees had no trouble getting across any of them. If you don't like an adventure, however, this might not be the best trail for you as stated in the park's description of the trail. We found all of the park staff to be friendly, helpful and hardworking. Please thank them for all they do if you have the chance.

I love this place! Best hiking in Florida. Limestone rock outcroppings for fishing. It's remote and peaceful and lovely. I have heard owls and coyotes in the distance at night. We have seen wild boar and deer. On a dark, clear night, you can see the milky way. Be warned the amenities are pretty basic, which is lovely for me, but not for everyone.

Torreya State Park is a hidden gem in the heart of Florida. The park offers a unique and diverse outdoor experience, with its stunning bluffs, pristine river, and lush forests.
