Seventeen-Mile River and a boardwalk wind through cypress swamp where rare and endangered plants grow. Pitcher plants, shy Eastern Indigo snakes and Gopher Tortoises make their homes in this wiregrass community. Birding and nature photography are exceptional.

The park was donated to the state by a group of Coffee County citizens in 1970 and is named after General John Coffee, a planter, U.S. Congressman and military leader.
