The Picturesque Lake Louisa
Just 15 minutes from Disney World, Lake Louisa State Park is an ideal place to experience the REAL Florida.
4,500 acres of pristine Florida wilderness, including 11 natural communities, 6 lakes, 2 streams and 105 acres of lake shoreline are set in the corner of the Green Swamp, Central Florida’s vast wetland. Here you can hike, bike, boat, swim, bring your horse for a trail ride, camp, RV or rent a cabin.
Kayak and Canoe Rentals
Its close proximity to Disney makes it an ideal location for a diverse vacation experience. Well marked equestrian, hiking and biking paths along with fishing piers, BBQ pits, picnic tables and comfort stations give plenty of options. Kayak and canoe rentals are also available
Cabins Overlook Lake Dixie
Campers can choose from primitive campgrounds, full-facility campgrounds, RV sites and cabins. The spacious cabins include two bedrooms, utilities, large porches, linens and all overlook beautiful Lake Dixie. The cost is a modest $120 per night and they sleep up to six.
P-51 Pilot Memorial
The park ranger is happy to provide you with birding pamphlets and trail maps. Who knows what you’ll discover. In 2001 the low water level on the lake revealed the remnants of a P-51 Mustang that crashed on a training mission in November 1944. A monument with a piece of the propeller is on display by the lake. Two prehistoric dugout canoes were also found that year.
Lake Louisa State Park is located south of Clermont, FL on Hwy. 27 just a few miles north of Hwy. 192. Phone number is 352.394.3969.
For the outdoor and athletic enthusiast and lucky readers of my blog looking for “More Than a Mouse”™ it’s time to discover Lake Louisa.
