Take the free ferry to the island. Tell the pilots you want to rent a paddle board or kayak. Kayaking around the island is fun. Gopher turtles not above ground when I visited. The island is very jungle like. Lovely trees, palms, greenery and some flowers. There are boardwalks and ground trails and picnic groves. A lot of people were lost on the trails, make sure to grab a map. Saw blue herons and egrets, adult and babies, iguanas, anones.Fish were jumping in the canals. Big boats on the intercoastal, some made big waves. There are bathrooms and water fountains on the island, small boat dock area and picnic areas. Some people claimed to have seen a gopher turtle. Make sure to sign in and out on the attendance sheet while on the ferry.

Had the most amazing time here on Deerfield Island Park! Carlos was a spectacular tour guide and is truly knowledgeable about the nature and the park itself! Can't wait to go back and explore some more!

We only saw the park from the boat, unfortunately it was closed. But made a good impression.

Beautiful space.

What a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours, next to the water and surrounded by nature. Walk the Mangrove Trail, Coquina Trail, look out over the Intracoastal from the Observation Deck and watch for butterflies in the Butterfly Garden. You may even spy a manatee! The boat shuttle is free from Sullivan Park on Saturdays and Sundays. Awesome!

We all loved the trail. The boat ride is free. They had an education stand where we did scavenger hunt. The grandkids enjoyed the day

The island is quite nice and tranquil. We found the shuttle easy for transport over to the island. We walked every path on the island and like the other reviews said, it is jungle like. I had been here a number of years ago and I thought the renovations to the paths to be great. I liked all the informative signs too. We saw birds, crabs, iguanas, and oh so many spiders. They were sizable too! Some were hanging in the paths or overhead. On the bright side, they weren't really moving around, just hanging out, so you could avoid them. I would recommend the island but I do want to emphasize the spiders.

The parking was free, the boat ride free and the island is a lovely place to picnic, and wander in the natural setting. Some of the best things in life are free! A lovely place to visit, bring the kids, there’s fun in the small park there, with a water sprinkler for the little ones to enjoy in warm weather.

Amazing adventure island. My family love coming here. Plus it’s free!

Wonderful park with free Ferry boat ride over to the nature trails. In the middle of all the tourists you are alone on an island. Many picnic tables for snacks or lunches. Restrooms and water bottle filling station. Good excursion for the day and come back to splash in the splash pad and playground.

Ferry shut down. Could not get to it.

Deerfield Island Park was a wonderful scenic area that my family and friends really enjoyed! Specifically, the Mangrove Trail was a wonderful trail for sightseeing and more! We even saw a few (scary) bugs! The park is free, parking is also free, and the boat ride is free. Overall, I would definitely recommend this trail to everyone.

Such a great place to adventure for free! My kids call it Spider Island!

A great place to visit if you are looking for some time away from the beach. The ferry is free and there is always a friendly staff member willing to answer your questions. There are picnic areas through the trails and a bathroom at the start. Go for a short walk or stay for an afternoon!

Great place to visit. Not very big, but there are a few trails and nice shady picnic areas.

Insane amount of golden orb weaving spiders

Family place

I loved the free pontoon boat ride to the island, and neat to explore and hike the island. Such old Florida vibe.

Great natural park. Interesting and knowledgable tour directors and a pleasant boat ride from Sullivan park to Deerfield park island and return.

If you got extra time definitely do it . It’s a nice small virgin island , one hour would be just right .

Took the ferry over. Walked around the island and didn't really see anything.

I think more people should k in about this amazing place, and all the activities they can perform with their families!

Great experience walking and kayaking. Nice staff!

Beautiful. Clean and so natural.👌

Nice natural area park, good picnic spot. Ride the free shuttle, stay an hour or the day.

Small enough to enjoy in an hour but worth spending more time there

Nice tortoises!!! Watch out for the ghost at night

Great beach access and decent cost Secure parking lot

Nice trails. Well kept. Got a trail map, and a free ferry ride from Sullivan park. Parking at Sullivan park is free for 4 hours People extremely friendly and trails well kept.watch out for cobwebs

gorgeous spot and cheap parking

Service was good by employees, but there were tons of spiders and webs everywhere. I guess it was the season for that. It's free, so it's hard to knock the place. And the spiders are part of nature so that's not the Park's fault. Just didn't make for a great day.

Nice outdoors place

Great natural park. Nice little island for nature trails and a picnic.

At the moment closed only get there by boat

Nice little island for nature trails and a picnic. We had the kids do a scavenger hunt here. They had a blast!

Wow! We have probably passed this park a thousand times and never stopped! But we did today and I am SOOOOO happy we did! What a great treasure in the middle of the madness. Absolute gem! Will definitely be back. Park personnel were very friendly and helpful. Saw a gopher tortoise! What a treat! Cool trails. Lots of picnic areas with grills.

Great free place to explore nature and get away from the hustle and bustle. Make sure to soak up Sullivan park and watch the boats go by while you are waiting for the free park shuttle. Shuttle runs every hour on the hour from 10-3pm Saturdays and Sundays only. Bring lunch and have a picnic under the giant fig trees, make sure you get a view of the natural bee nest and if you are lucky you'll get to see a gopher tortoise, the park is one of the last remaining places in South Florida that preserves the wilderness for these incredible tortoises.

Such a cool place for a visit. You can also BBQ here!

Awesome

Calid

Great afternoon hang!

It's great to have the ocean so close, only a couple blocks away, but be able to come here and enjoy some all to rare (in town) trees!
