Park was easy to find but a little rough to enter due to road work. Visitors Center was really good with some local wildlife exhibits. Bathrooms were very clean. Staff that we talked to were polite, friendly and helpful. If you have issues walking this maybe a little tougher than you are use to. It is about 1.2 mile round trip to the beach and back. Path includes cement. Gravel, small wood bridge, sand and the sand mat they put down. The beach is very nice and normally not many there due to the walk. Make sure you hit the bathroom before heading to the beach 😁.

One of my new favorites I will be coming to when in the panhandle. Great parking. Great rangers. Bathrooms were clean. I felt so good to be here. Thank you for maintaining and keeping the space beautiful and safe. The surfaces to walk on were great for my feet as well!!!

Seems like yesterday but it was one year ago today we visited this wonderful park. Very clean place and friendly staff. We had an amazing lunch under the bridge by the lake and then we fished off the dock for a while. She caught her first redfish and snapper. You should have seen her dancing and laughing in the sun. She was so beautiful GOODNESSS!! I miss my fishing buddy. "Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say. I said something wrong now I long for yesterday. Yesterday" 💘♾️

Nice flat trail that goes in a loop with stunning views of the lake. There are areas that are completely shaded and some that are full sun.

Excellent alternative to the busy beach on Front Beach road, there is a beach here, however it's a half mile walk. The fishing is excellent.
