Chief Tomokie statue
Another day, another state park. This one, Tomoka State Park in Ormond Beach FL, is larger and has a wider variety of recreational activities than the Bulow Creek State Park. Florida apparently thinks it is better because it charges $4 to enter.
The park encompasses the site of an ancient Timucuan Indian village, documented by an early Spanish explorer in 1564. The park also contains a rather odd statue giving homage to Chief Tomokie of those ancient Timucuans.
You can fish, swim, canoe and camp in this park. I stopped at the park store for some refreshments and to enjoy the view on a beautiful day.
