The C.S. Lee Park is a small three acre place that is basically a huge parking lot and a nice boat ramp. A great place to get in the St John’s River. From here you can go south into Lake Jesup or north into Lake Monroe.
After that you can literally go for hundreds of miles on this beautiful river. Some fabulous fishing but definitely not a place for swimming When the temp hits 80 or over the amoeba and nasty bacteria start to multiple like crazy and can do all kinds of very unpleasant things to a person.
Of course the area is also infested with large alligators and various poisonous snakes so that would be another excellent reason to keep you hands and feet out of the water.
The park does have a little pavilion and some benches and it shares the same area with the Jolly Gator Fish Camp. A rather rustic place that serves good cheap food and sells bait.
The parks main attraction is the very larking parking area. Plenty of room for boat trailers and large vehicles. A very convenient launch site to get into the water. Just beware of what’s lurking in that lovely river.
