Fort Caroline National Memorial river and marsh lookout

Fort Caroline National Memorial, managed by the National Park Service, sits on a bluff above the St. Johns River and provides trails and overlooks that afford views across tidal marshes and the river. The site interprets the 16th-century French colonial presence while also serving as a vantage for observing the Timucuan waterways and birdlife. Boardwalks and observation points near the memorial are used by visitors for landscape and wildlife viewing away from busier city riverfronts.
