Physical Description
General Note
During World War II, troops used Camp Gordon Johnston for training exercises over the vast dunes. Acquisition of park land in 1963, and the 1965 completion of the Bryant G. Patton Bridge across Apalachicola Bay to St. George Island, led to increased recreational use. Completion of park facilities in 1980 opened the St. George Island State Park.
