Explore the museum exhibit at the restored 1928 Ribault Club, formerly a destination of rest and relaxation for the well-to-do. Bring your kayaks or small boats and explore the safe waters and sand bars of the Fort George River marsh areas. Then have a picnic under the open grassy area under large oak trees. Many trails begin at this area and meander through Fort George Island with some trails ending with views of the Fort George River or leading to Kingsley Plantation. Trails are open to bikes and hikers.

Ribault Club is a popular venue for weddings and other events, and serves as the location for the biennial Timucuan Science and History Symposium.
