    Not knowing what to expect.... We were visiting Santa Rosa…read moreBeach and tropical storm Bertha came rolling through. We decided to take an excursion north of the emerald coast and found this charming little lake. It is first come first serve based on the parking situation. We were fortunate to arrive there around noon and allowed in for $4 per car to go into the parking lot and then walked about 200 feet to a small beach with a few benches, a couple of tables on the beach (state park style) and also a covered picnic area. The small beach had a walkway to another area which was the jump in/dive in area of the spring fed lake. The water was cool, but definitely swimmable as there were warm currents mixed with the cold currents from the spring. Reportedly, the water is too cool for alligators which are found more at the mouth of the river feeding this area. We spent around an hour just floating around in the area. Didn't feel cold while in the water (outside temp 84 degrees). People had floaties, tubes, and even paddle boards. There were a few scuba divers as well! Bring your snorkels and other floatation equipment if you want to spend time just floating and looking a the bottom for some interesting scenery under water.

    Another one of our beautiful state parks rich in history!…read more Besides coming here for the old sugar, mill and pancake experience, definitely walk around and experience the Park itself! When we went, we did the boat tour as well, it was pretty cheap for an hour tour and we got to experience the beautiful nature and wildlife. Afterwards, we went swimming in the little lake area, which was extremely refreshing!
