Dunns Creek, State park in Pomona Park, Florida, US.

Dunns Creek State Park covers 6,302 acres south of a sharp bend in the St. Johns River, on US 17 about 15 miles south of Palatka. Dunns Creek itself carries outflow from Crescent Lake into the St. Johns, and the park's floodplain forests and water storage protect roughly five miles of the creek's shoreline.

Dunns Creek State Park was added to the Florida state park system in October 2001. The land had earlier been used for turpentining, logging, cattle ranching and farming, and in the 1920s a steamboat stop there supplied wood and water to citrus-laden ships and served as post office for Pomona and Sisco. The park is named for John Dunn, a lawyer and coffee planter granted land "between the two lakes" in Putnam County in 1765.

The park's name comes from John Dunn, a lawyer and coffee planter who in 1765 received a grant to farm land "between the two lakes" in Putnam County. Native Americans left burial mounds across the site, and in the 1920s a steamboat stop there supplied wood and water to citrus ships and served as post office for Pomona and Sisco.

The park lies on US 17, about 24 km (15 mi) south of Palatka, on the south side of a sharp bend in the St. Johns River. Dunns Creek itself carries outflow from Crescent Lake to the St. Johns, so expect wet floodplain ground near the water. The adjacent 6,302-acre Dunns Creek Conservation Area, bought by the St. Johns River Water Management District in 1992, lies just north across the creek.
