Outdoor Fun in Titusville
Summer vacation is the perfect opportunity to squeeze in some extra quality time with your family — especially when it’s outside! Take a look at some of our favorite local spots around Titusville when you and your children can enjoy a day in the great outdoors.
Described as a “place of wonder, contemplation, and discovery,” the Enchanted Forest Sanctuary aims to protect our natural resources and give you an opportunity to experience Florida as its early inhabitants did. Located in the southern part of Titusville, this 470-acre forest offers several miles of hiking trails and wildlife observation, as well as a gift shop and an educational center.
The peak season for this magical adventure is June through October, so you’re right in time to witness exotic birds, manatees, dolphins, and a 360° view of the stunning bioluminescent water. You can choose from a nighttime or sunset tour, not to mention the dolphin and manatee kayaking tour during the day. The clear kayak bioluminescence tour is their most popular; with every stroke of your paddle, the water sparkles and glows!
Sand Point Park
This popular park on the Indian River is home to playgrounds, pavilions, skateboarding ramps, a dog park, a splash pad, and baseball fields. It’s close to the downtown area if you didn’t pack a picnic and want to take a break for lunch, and it also has a boat ramp if you’re hoping to spend a day on the water! There are often events at this park, so make sure to check online before you go.
Manatees frequent this observation deck throughout the year, and it’s a great place to spot manatees in their natural habitat. If you are unlucky and don’t spot any manatees, many locals suggest going to the boat landing across the road! You might even see some stingrays, too.
