Hiking through forested hills of pine and mixed hardwoods, visitors might catch sight of fox squirrels, white-tailed deer, gray foxes or many species of native and migratory birds. Campers can launch from a boat ramp to enjoy some of the best freshwater fishing in the state, or fish from a 100-foot pier in the camping area. A shady picnic area, with tables and grills, overlooks the lake.
The park is currently in recovery following Hurricane Michael. Previously, for large gatherings, three pavilions were available for rental. For overnight visitors, full-facility (no sewer hook-up, dump station only) campgrounds next to the lake and modern cabins were available. When the park reopens, please contact the park for information regarding camping availability.
