Step back thousands of years at this archaeological treasure within Tomoka State Park. The site preserves the remnants of a Timucuan Indian community, one of the earliest Native American settlements on Florida’s Central East Coast. These mounds and shell middens—layers of discarded shells, pottery, and other artifacts—offer a glimpse into the daily lives and ceremonial practices of the Timucua people.

Lost River Gorge is a testament to the power and wonder of nature. It was formed over hundreds of years before recorded time by natural forces and winds along the Lost River, which comes in and out of your view as you explore the magnificent gorges and boulder caves along boardwalks lit by lanterns.
