About Egans Creek Greenway
The Greenway, located on the northern end of Amelia Island, Florida, was opened for public use in the summer of 2001 as an undeveloped park for passive recreational use. Funding for land acquisition was provided by Florida Communities Trust and the City of Fernandina Beach. It consists of over 300 acres of protected lands, managed by the City of Fernandina Beach. This natural setting with its grass-covered trails is ideal for hiking, biking, dog walking, wildlife and nature observation and photography.
Its official!  Editors of Jacksonville’s Water’s Edge magazine voted Egans Creek Greenway best coastal birdwatching spot. The Greenway was edged out of the top spot only by Cumberland Island. Water's Edge Aug 07.
