Hours of Operation
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.

In the early 1940's Barron Collier, a wealthy advertising entrepreneur and pioneer developer, made plans to design a park. By 1947, the land Collier had chosen was turned over to the state of Florida for management as a state park. Named in part for Collier and for the Seminole Indians who had made the area their home, Collier-Seminole State Park was opened to the public.
