Located at the northern end of 45,000-acre Lake Walter F. George, this 173-acre quiet park offers the perfect setting for those who love water sports.
It is adjacent to a natural deep-water marina with an accessible deep-water fishing pier, boat slips and boat ramp. Birders are sure to see herons, egrets and bald eagles, and the Kirbo Interpretive Center is a good first stop for learning about the area.
