Experience natural Florida at Alpine Groves, a park that once was a citrus farm located on the St. Johns River. The park spans 54.5 acres in Northwest St. Johns County between the St. Johns River and William Bartram Scenic & Historic Highway. Visitors of all ages can experience and explore recreational activities, three unique Florida habitats, and three historic structures: the Bennett House, a citrus sorting shed, and the horse stables. Interpretation of these buildings provides a unique window into the rich local history and 1900s economic development of northwest St. Johns County including Fruit Cove, Orangedale, and Switzerland. Part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, this park is perfect for birding and wildlife viewing. It has a picnic pavilion, a fishing pier, a playground, a paved nature trail, and historic buildings are Instagram-worthy.
