Anclote River Park

Anclote river park does not allow pets. Anclote GULF park does. That one is the one with the fishing Pier.

Yes you can, just note, you will mostly find poptops. But, that is good to get rid of them. Happy hunting.

Yes but its cheap or free for Fl residents. Also if you have an EBT/SNAP card, u dont need a license to fish just pay attention to the laws on what you r allowed to catch at the time youre there and size requirements to keep

Nice beach and swimming. Floats allowed.

Yes Reccenter @ keyvista

Great for swimming..nice and warm. Sandbars are high enough...water is shallow enough to walk over to different areas. Great shelling

Just read the water is testing excessively high for fecal bacteria ewwww The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County has issued a water quality advisory for Anclote River Park Beach as a result of a water sampling done Aug. 26. (Pasco County )

No. The closest that I can think of is Moon Lake Park. It don’t have a wash station but you could use their boat ramp for free & dip it in fresh water

You can go to Howard Park in Pinellas county to take your dog in the water, not in Pasco county.

Park is closed

Yes, there is still a Swim Advisory for Anclote River Par. The next Health Dept. testing date is August 9th.

Depends on which section of the beach you go to. There are three on the main beach and then you have other beaches that have two or three on them so in all you have two or three beach areas with picnic pavilions.

There is no reservations just make sure you get there early to lock in your spot

There are no bus routes to this beach. The closest you can get is around US 19 and Alt 19, and from there it's still a few miles.

There is a boat launch that you can drive up to

Yes.

I've seen many people fishing there.

yes just stay to the right of the swim area and follow no wake signs your good enjoy your day

I've seen other dogs there on leashes.

No you do not. The facilities for the use of the boat ramp are open 24/7 for boaters to use. You can even purchase a parking pass for the boat ramp for up to 7-days.

NO. The boat ramp stays open 24/7, but the park has separate gates that do close at dusk. Make sure not to park inside the park after dusk. When you go in, make sure you take your time & read the signs.

While I have never seen anyone scallop in that Park there is an area off the beach where people do go and fish and they snorkel. I do not know if you can scalloped there. Scalloping in Pasco county ends tomorrow anyway so for this season there is no more scallops

I agree, the grills are all over and some benches and tables too. But only two pavillons

The ospreys are near the boat ramp and the eagles are closer to the power plant.

Yes, there is.

Can i metal detect

No ,sorry. But only 1/4 mile away is Miss Vickie's by the sea. Now this is only the coolest little restaurant bilt literally around oak tree. They only serve lunch and dinner and they close at 10. Miss Vicky's restaurant serves great food cold beer. No alcohol besides beer and wine. What is a cozy spot literally a couple steps away from the park. You'll have to look for Miss Vickie's as it is hidden in the back of a dry dock Marina. Enjoy.

The river park isnt the one with the pier, thats anclote gulf park. We fish from the river edge (wading) or kayaking. Last time we were at rhe gulf park, the pier is open 24 hours.

Parking is FREE. Except the boat ramp is $5

Yes

Yes!

The park closes at sunset the pier is 24 hours

Not by the water. Key vista has a trail that leads to the water. I have seen dogs there alot.

I haven't seen any in fall but they are making improvements.

Brackish. It's a mixture of salt and fresh where the river starts to intermix with the gulf.

County website

No permit needed. There's no fee for launching but you pay to park your truck & trailer
