Amazing state park that combines history and nature. The well preserved fort is just part of the adventure. There are plenty of hiking trails and beach access to get lost in nature.Full review by jwdonten
Our kids are experienced road bikers, but we've never mountain biked. Should we stick to the roads on our bikes or could we handle the bike paths? Our kids will have their nice Treks but we'll be on local rental bikes.

Fort Clinch State Park sits at the northern end of Amelia Island. The elevations there are among the highest on the island. Amelia received wind and some storm surge. There was mostly organic debris and the occasional downed tree. Though I haven't been into the park since Dorian passed, its fate couldn't be too different than that of the island as a whole. Egans Creek absorbed most of the storm surge near the park. All in all, Amelia Island fared quite well and I'm sure the park did, too!
I see a lot of people mentioning the ability to fish at this SP. Has anyone actually spent the time here to fish & have you caught anything? Heading there in a couple weeks and just wondering if we should even think about planning a meal around the fish we catch....

You can fish off the beach all around Fort Clinch and at this time of the year you should have no trouble catching some Whiting which are great eating. Try pieces of dead shrimp or my personal favorite, a small strip of squid. Use a fish finder rig with a #1 or 2 circle hook. You also have a very good chance of picking up a flounder or 2 as well.
