    I'm trying to think of where to start with this review. There was just so much. So I'll just start by saying, this is a wonderful park to bring the kiddos out to have parties. It was very clean, including the restrooms and there were several pavilions with barbecue pits. Everywhere you go has access to the lake with stunning views. Plus they offer canoe rentals if you want to venture out into the water. If you have your own boat, they have boat ramps for you to bring your own vessels out on the water. There's also several great spots for fishing. Of course be careful of the wildlife, snakes and gators. My favorite thing about this park is the hiking trails! There's an area with these massive trees on hills. It's so cool! It's really fun for the kids to climb through the maze of roots and look out into the water. I personally think it's the best spot in the entire park. Lastly, there's a lookout point that's about 4 or 5 stories y'all, that you can walk up to get an aerial view of the lake. Very pretty! This park is definitely one I would recommend. Oh and it's only $2/car to enter.

    We love this park as a family!!! With the giant dirt hills and exposed tree root system, it is like a giant playground for adults and kids alike. This park also offers a VERY unique photo opportunities that you will not get anywhere else. There is a giant beautiful lake, beautiful fishing spots and a nice playground as well as plenty of grills to cookout on. Admission is only $2....a great price to pay for hours of fun, beauty and a little bit of adventure.

    It has not been as good as it once was. The Boardwalk is now a pier and the old pier is gone. You can play disk golf, Camping, boating, and other things. It does seem like they are trying to make it nice though.

    Nice trails, clean camp site, and clean bathrooms. The showers had HOT water enough for everyone to shower not like another campsite that only one person took a shower then we had to wait for the water to get hot.

    It's a beautiful park. Plenty of space for the kids to play. There's a playground. Restrooms. The tower is handicap friendly. There are fishing areas and boat docks. It's a small lake so there is no wake speed limit.

    What kind of park doesn't allow kids to ride their E bikes and electric scooters? Very disappointing. Site also says nothing about it. Go to other parks. Save your lousy $2 and go to Bonnet Springs where they encourage any and all outdoor activities.

    Beautiful and well maintained conservation park. It has unpaved uneven 1.25 miles loop trail named singing bluffs trail surrounded by nature. This trail is very beautiful and peaceful. One will see variety of birds around the trail. The trail has a few scenic overlooks offering beautiful view of lake. There is also a fishing pier in the park and has some beautiful views. One can also locate alligators from the fishing pier. Sufficient parking available. Restroom is available in the park. There is also boat launch point in the park and many picnic shelters. There is also a play area for kids. There is a $2 admission fees

    The whole place is very well kept. The trails are very well kept. Plenty of places to fish. Nice pavilions to have parties. The sacred hills was our favorite by far!!!! Slso plenty of playgrounds and things to do with the kids. I would strongly suggest you give this place a try. Especially when it's only 2 dollars to enter. It's well worth it.

    Nice place to visit. Lots of trails to hike, many ponds and a lake to fish in. Only down side is there's quite a bit of trash on the trails

    Love this park trail. Didn't get to complete the levee trail but we have done the wooded trail....stunning. The wooded trail has a bit of elevation changes & beautiful water scenery. Have cash on you as it's about $2 to get in (well worth it). Long trails - about 3 miles or so.

    HUGE park with lots of space for exploring. The Dunes (on Sacred Hills Dr) are big hiking & climbing fun for the adventurous.

    You must see it to belive a real nature the trees are growing on air barely touching the Earth the reason is because it's on little hilltops and the rain washed away the dirt around the stem so all the routes arw exposed and looks like is standing on air I don't think anything like that in any place on this planet, Plus the grounds surrounded with water you can kayak or watch the alligators, have picnic tables, volleyballs ,golf discs baskets to play, a lot of activities in this Park you could enjoy all day

    Awesome Park. We even found an empty picnic shelter on Easter day. The views of the lake were beautiful and the short walk through the trees with the exposed roots was unworldly

    Absolutely love it there from the extremely nice friendly helpful park rangers ( especially Mrs. Gloria) to the gorgeous scenery. The camping super laid back the restrooms are clean the campsites come fully equipped with power water and a picnic table. I will definitely be staying again.

    Being an outdoors person my family and I have always enjoyed our visits to this park. Whether it be a reunion, birthday or just coming there are memories to be cherished. This stay now is a bit difficult while camping. There are some characters that are living here off and on which make it less pleasant. I'm not a sociable person but will be cordial in public settings. However I do not like random people walking up into my camp as if we're old pals and lingering longer than I could tolerate. Between the inherent things talked about to me, as well as the nauseating stench of cheap beer, it was all I could do to not stop setting up and just leave. One instance of this I could overlook, but there have been probably 5 of them between 3 different people. One busy body, pink panther looking, old lady seems to be stirring up problems at different sites and has been told twice now by my husband to stay away and leave us out of her nonsense.

    Great place for family fun. I love the trails, some are very small, some are very long, but all are great. Our family loves the camp grounds too, super quiet

    Nice park, canoe and kayak rentals, plenty of places to fish, nice pavilions, disc golf and several volleyball courts, playgrounds and camping!

  • 5/5 Michele G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the most beautiful parks here in Florida . 700-acre reservoir used for canoeing, boating, and fishing. Beautiful playgrounds. a huge fishing pie and a new look at tower with endless views of the whole conservation area. Picnic tables and pavilions scattered throughout.$2 per vehicle $5 per boat. Nice getaway for a day.
