Spruce Creek Park offers a canoe/kayak launch next to the fishing pier, though boats must be dragged a considerable distance and the ramp is unusable at low tide due to deep mud—launching from the sandy beach off US 1 or from nearby Cracker Creek is recommended instead.

The park features a 536-foot boardwalk, nature trails, a 15-foot observation tower, restrooms, picnic tables, and a camping area.

The 16-mile round-trip paddling trail is suitable for beginners and provides access to diverse ecosystems ranging from brackish bays to freshwater creeks.
