River Rise Preserve State Park access provides entry to over 35 miles of trails suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with a primitive equestrian camp featuring campsites, bathhouse, and 20-stall horse barn available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The park is located 2 miles west of High Springs on US Highway 27, and admission is collected at the O'Leno State Park ranger station (6 miles north of High Springs on US 441) where visitors receive a gate combination.

This location marks where the Santa Fe River reemerges after flowing underground through O'Leno State Park, offering scenic paddling access to the river.
