Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park
Yellow Bluff Fort Historic State Park, Civil War earthwork fortification in Jacksonville, United States
The state park contains T-shaped earthwork formations spanning 1.3 acres along the north side of the St. Johns River in Florida.
Confederate forces constructed the fortification in 1862 to defend Jacksonville, but Union troops later captured and occupied the strategic position.
The park preserves military artifacts from the American Civil War period, including mounted cannons and a memorial stone installed in 1950.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily from 8 AM until sunset without entrance fees, following a 0.2-mile loop trail around the historical structures.
Located near the Dames Point Bridge, this elevated site provided soldiers with clear views of maritime traffic entering the St. Johns River system.
