| Also on our door step
is Lake Louisa State Park. This park is noted for its six
beautiful lakes, rolling hills, and scenic landscapes. Lake
Louisa is the largest in a chain of 13 lakes connected by
the Palatlakaha River, which is designated as an Outstanding
Florida Waterway.
Lake Louisa, Dixie Lake, and Hammond Lake, the park's most
accessible lakes, provide access for fishing, canoeing,
and kayaking. Anglers can fish in four of the park's six
lakes, but gasoline-powered boats are not allowed; only
boats powered by trolling motors or without motors are permitted.
Camping facilities and more than 15 miles of horse trails
are available for equestrians. For hikers and backpackers,
the park has over 20 miles of hiking trails with excellent
opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Dixie Lake has a fishing pier, canoe/kayak launch, and
a picnic pavilion. The park also has a full-facility campground
and primitive campsites. Cabins should be available in the
spring of 2005. Located just three miles North towards downtown
Clermont on U.S. 27. |
