Some of the most picturesque scenic areas along north Florida's Gulf Coast are found within the park which supports 4,065 upland acres. Located on Alligator Point, where Ochlockonee Bay meets Apalachee Bay, Bald Point offers a multitude of land and water activities. Coastal marshes, pine flatwoods, and oak thickets foster a diversity of biological communities that make the park a popular destination for birding and wildlife viewing.

Each fall, bald eagles and other migrating raptors, along with monarch butterflies, are commonly seen heading south for the winter. Bald Point offers access to two Apalachee Bay beaches for swimming, sunbathing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and windsurfing. Facilities include a fishing dock and picnic pavilions.

If you enjoy hiking or bicycling, Bald Point has many trails to explore. The roads have a good amount of sand so mountain bikes are the best choice. For canoeing, we have many freshwater lakes, tidal creeks and Ochlockonee and Apalachee Bays. Fishing can be productive in the fall. Many species of fish seem to know winter is approaching and go into feeding frenzies to fatten themselves for the colder months. Red fish and trout are feeding in the shallows and can be caught from our small fishing pier. Morning and evening times seem to offer the best results for fishing.
