Other than parts of the park where scrub is the dominant habitat, Jonathan Dickinson State Park is rather flat, topographically speaking. Like most of South Florida, small changes in elevation that most of us wouldn't really notice can make for big differences in the landscape. Here you see a marsh with open water in the center, quickly transitioning to pine flatwoods within a distance of maybe 10 or 20 yards, at most. This is another of our favorite spots. Look for carnivorous plants, like pink sundew, along the bank near the road but take care to scan the water for alligators as you approach.
