        A most excellent place to be on the river. The rangers are hard working and very helpful. The deep water (we saw 5 ft) is at the T dock as you approach from the North it is first one on your starboard. Do not get too close to the shore when you come in. The nice floating docks are self serve. Rangers are not allowed to help you dock. The T dock has 50 amp power and water. $10 a nite if Fl resident, $20 if not. The inside docks are for small craft only. We stopped for a few days going to Sanford and a few more on our return trip. From here you can visit Blue Springs and take a trip in your dink or kayak all the way around on Snake Creek. The Rangers rent canoes. Just like the Amazon with all the wildlife. We visited in winter. Watch your pet around the shore. Alligators everywhere. The park trails, the fishing, all is Good! We had some wifi from across the river on our booster. The park has limited supplies, more across the river. It is a no wake zone but idiots will blast through sometimes. Very quiet and laid back at night and week days. You can anchor in the creek to the North if you wish. The showers are hot and clean. Day use is allowed for a small fee.

        What an underutilized resource. Wonderful park, well maintained. 5 foot depth at end of T-dock. 30 amp at every slip on one dock now, 50 amp on the other arm. Water is now available now. A true bargain !!

        Good inexpensive dockage, but can have a little current. Bigger boats should use the T-docks because of dock size and depths.

        Subject: Hontoon Island State Park, St. Johns River
        Cruising News: Just tied up at the Hontoon Island State Park on the upper St. Johns River in Florida. About 15 miles north of Sanford; located on the St. Johns River itself (not the smaller creek on the north side of the island). Multiple slips and two face docks with depth around 4 feet and mud bottom large enough to accommodate our DeFever 41 against a mid-ship piling and still have room for a smaller boat behind.

        #22 Hontoonn Island State Park docks: The “T” docks show 5 feet depth. The westward “T” has the only 50 amp service. $18 a night, 1/2 price for over 65, includes water and electric. Good deal.
