Wonderful place to visit! You can do boating, kayaking, fishing and roaming around. You can bring your food or get your food delivered and enjoy time amid beauty. However you need gator card for entry inside the park and also for booking the life jackets for boating or kayaking.

Nice rowing and kayaking place owned by the university of Florida. So only staff and their friends can enter the park. Lake waters are clean and has a small beach to relax. There are a few benches for people to sit and eat and there are some covered areas too. Pay attention to the lifeguard's advice as they know what the best way to row. Wish there were some eating areas there.
