George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park
About
George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park is a 110-acre Florida state park about 10 miles from Fernandina Beach. It sits within the boundary of Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, and the state park agency manages the land. The park is small and built around its fishing pier, so plan on a short visit or pair it with a walk nearby. Spring is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station records typical April averages of about 77°F for highs and 60°F for lows, and it rains on about seven days that month. Summer is hotter and wetter, with July highs averaging around 90°F. Several trails are within easy reach. The East Coast Greenway - Duval County Corridor passes less than half a mile away, and the Big Talbot Island State Park Hiking Trail is about 2 miles off. The Flatwoods Trail and the Pumpkin Hill Creek Preserve State Park Trail are each within about 4.5 miles.
