Three Rooker Bar is one of the islands within the Anclote Key Preserve State Park. It's approximate location is 3 miles northwest of Crystal Beach and 5 miles southwest of Tarpon Springs (proper) in Pinellas County. As one of the last natural islands on Florida's Suncoast, it is left to nature's devices.

While much of the island is accessible by boat, a significant portion is designated "No Entry - Bird Sanctuary". There are no docks, shelters, or public facilities on the island, and there are no dredged channels to the island. There is no fee for landing.

The island is patrolled by numerous organizations. Because of the sensitive habitat, large-scale gatherings require permission from neighboring Honeymoon Island Island State Park (727) 469-5943. For a list of articles permitted, visitors should contact neighboring Honeymoon Island State Park by telephone. Pets are not permitted on the island at any time. Camping is not permitted on the island.
