Tent Camping Only
Spruce Creek Park opened to the public in June 2003. Its 536-foot
boardwalk begins more than three miles of nature trails leading to
the 15-foot observation tower and continues to Rose Bay. The tower
overlooks the marsh area near Spruce Creek.
The
extension began on the north side of the park as part of the Rose
Bay Legacy Project Program under the direction a teacher at
Mainland High School. The students notched out minimum-impact
nature trails and planted native vegetation throughout the area
while studying the environment. Students from Mainland High School,
Campbell Middle School, South Daytona Elementary, Holly Hill
Elementary, and many other students and teachers have worked with
community members and state and county agency mentors to help
construct trails, monitor the environment, remove exotic species,
and renourish the wetlands.
