Melton O. Nelson Memorial Park

Situated at the S.R. 200 crossing, this site serves as a consistent departure point for those navigating the marsh and cypress-filled waterways of Lofton Creek. The park is defined by a utilitarian layout that prioritizes fluid movement from land to water, featuring a well-maintained cement ramp used by both casual paddlers and local tour operators. Beyond the technical access, the park is known for its calm, family-friendly atmosphere, making it a quiet alternative to more crowded coastal spots. With clean facilities and expansive, well-kept grounds, it functions as a reliable anchor for explorers spending an hour or an afternoon among the creek's sheltered, slow-moving currents.
