The Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park is a state cultural history educational and recreational area in Tallahassee, Florida.

The main feature of the site is the Native American ceremonial mound which rises to an outstanding forty-six feet. It is the state of Florida?s tallest Native American ceremonial mound. Another amazing fact is that the structure was built between 1100 and 1800 years ago, before the existence of heavy earth moving machinery using only locally available materials and debris. Archaeologist believe that the mounds is the work of the Weeden Island Culture.

Other than the mound itself, the park features a wheelchair accessible picnic area and viewing deck. A nature trail also winds around the mound?s perimeter and is accessible by foot for wildlife viewing and hiking.
