John Gorrie Museum State Park
About
John Gorrie Museum State Park is a 1-acre state park in Florida, about half a mile from the town of Apalachicola. It is managed by the state park agency, and its small size makes it a compact stop rather than a full-day destination. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 77°F and October highs around 82°F, while July and August average highs in the low 90s with the most wet days of the year. For more time outdoors in the area, the Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area Trail is about 6 miles away, and the East River, a canoeing route, is roughly 9 miles off.
