Fall, from late September through November, brings mild temperatures, smaller crowds, and good fishing as migratory birds pass through.

How to get to Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park
The park is reached via US-98 to Eastpoint, then south across the St. George Island Bridge on County Road 300, roughly a 75-mile, 90-minute drive southwest of Tallahassee. Panama City is about 85 miles to the west, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes by road. RV drivers should note the causeway bridge is exposed to strong crosswinds, and the final park road is narrow with sandy shoulders, so large rigs should drive cautiously. Tallahassee International Airport is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers.
