The
park
is
very
peaceful,
offering
lots
of
shade
&
trails
that
circle
around
the
lake.
Canoe/kayak
launch
is
only
accessible
by
foot.
You
must
carry
kayak
down
to
the
end
of
a
sandy
trail
that
is
laden
with
dips
&
exposed
tree
roots,
to
a
narrow
clearing
just
big
enough
to
launch.
The
fishing
could
be
good
here,
if
better
access
to
the
lake
was
available.
I
was
here
on
2
consecutive
days
in
September.
On
day
1,
fish
were
biting
&
I
caught
several
dinks
&
1
nice
fish
(6.5lb),
the
next
day
my
husband
came
&
we
barely
had
any
bites.
Unfortunately,
other
than
the
very
narrow
kayak
launch,
there
just
aren't
any
areas
that
offer
access
to
the
lake.
That
said,
any
time
someone
launches
or
comes
out,
it's
lines
out.
While
the
trail
circles
the
lake
&
is,
itself,
cleared
&
maintained,
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
push
through
the
thick
brush
&
marsh
to
gain
access
anywhere
else
around
the
lake,
at
least
not
without
the
aid
of
some
machinery.
Be
alert,
as
with
any
Florida
lake
or
pond,
gators
are
present.
I
didn't
see
them,
but
it
was
evident
from
their
growls
that
they
were
very
close
by.
After
several
hours
fishing
&
making
my
fair
share
of
noise,
a
water
moccasin
swam
by,
within
inches
of
my
feet,
at
the
mouth
of
the
launch
(in
less
than
a
foot
of
water)
on
day
2.
Surprisingly,
other
than
gators,
the
snake,
an
abundance
of
frogs
&
lots
of
turtles,
there
really
wasn't
much
other
wildlife
from
what
I
was
able
to
see.
I
may
have
seen
2
or
3
birds
all
day.
The
parking
lot
had
several
cars
when
I
was
there.
However,
I
only
ran
into
3
or
4
people
in
2
days.
Overall,
a
nice
little
park
for
a
quick
walk.
Just
make
sure
to
bring
a
stick
&
some
mosquito
repellent
with
you.
The
facilities
leave
a
bit
to
be
desired.
While
they
are
clean,
2
outhouses
serve
as
the
only
2
restrooms
&
no
running
water
is
available
(only
sanitizer
in
the
outhouses.
There
is
a
cooler
down
the
trail
with
water
&
a
bowl
for
dogs
to
drink
from.
