Lake Griffin State Park
The Eighth Largest Lake In Florida
Located
within an hour of central Florida attractions and theme parks, this park is home to one
of the state's largest live oak trees. A short trail near the park entrance takes
visitors to the mammoth oak tree.
Lake Griffin, the eighth largest lake in Florida where you can enjoy boating,
canoeing as well as fishing. Anglers will find plenty of largemouth bass, bluegill,
speckled perch, and catfish.
You can observe the park's wildlife while picnicking or strolling along the half-mile
nature trail. A shady, full-facility campground attracts travelers to spend the night or
an entire holiday here.
There is no swimming in the lake due to quiet a large alligator
population.
