HL Bishop Park is located on the north side of Lake June in Winter in Lake Placid, Fl. The park has…read morea public boat dock, a fishing pier where you can catch large mouth bass and bluegill, a playground, basketball court, boardwalk, and a beach. The park also contains a clubhouse that can be rented for private events. The swimming area is open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This is the second lake beach I have found in the Sebring area. I have always heard that if you swim in lakes in Florida you can get the brain eating Naegleria fowleri amoeba. When water gets up your nose it travels to your brain which is almost always fatal. There have been 37 reported cases in Florida since 1962. Peak times to get it are July through September. I am not sure if they test the water here or if you are supposed to know about it and only wade. Also it seems like a possibility that there are alligators in this lake. The water looked inviting but I think I would stick to the boardwalk.

Istokpoga is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We are reminded of how perfect the world would be if we were not in it.

A Bucket List must.

I was also a bass-fishing guide for 30 years, and I can tell you Dennis is a spectacular crappie guide. We had a great time and caught so many fish they were falling out of the cooler. But he really takes care of his customers. From the time you step on his boat, he's all about making sure you enjoy yourself and have fun fishing. In all my years of fishing I've never had someone bait my hook or cook me a hotdog while I'm fishing. If you're looking for a fun trip with an excellent guide. Call Dennis!

I was so impressed with their coffee that I returned to buy a coffee and burrito for my mechanic when he arrived. They have a loyalty card that you punch when ordering a coffee and every 10th coffee is free. I'm looking forward to filling that card up.

The last day we went it was beautiful weather but rough seas (4-6 feet) so check weather before you go or make sure you have strong legs and a bite of Bonine and ginger.

It was all we…read morehoped it would be and we're sorry we could not enjoy all of the activities they usually offer because of Covid. My husband loved the pickle ball courts and the two restaurants on site were absolutely stellar, especially Crumbs where we had many breakfast and dinners. The one time we had pizza we were very satisfied as well. RV years were mostly from Ohio and Michigan and a few Canadians, but that contingent was largely absent due to Covid. All the campers we met were friendly and helpful and the site was impeccable. The front office was especially helpful for providing notary public services for our vehicle purchases. My husband was wild about the pickle ball courts and the great folks that he played with. It was an especially good value for a month and even more so for a year. The pool was lovely and we looked forward to the Wednesday bake sales and farmers market. We would love to go back and might even consider wintering there next year. My only observation as a new RVEr was that the population At Florida RV parks in general was very Caucasian. There were no or very few Hispanics, African-Americans and Asians at the location. It was definitely LGBT friendly. Servers at Crumbs Country restaurant did not wear masks but outside dining was available and very comfortable. The overall belief of the RVers was that Covid had already come through the park and everyone simply distanced or rode by on their golf carts. Almost no one wore a mask.

The first time…read moreI ever saw bioluminescence was in Puerto Rico back in 2018, and it's still one of the most beautiful nighttime experiences I've ever had--right up there with seeing the Northern Lights. There's just something so magical about watching the water glow around you. We drove about 50 minutes from Orlando to Merritt Island for the tour, where we launched from the Indian River Lagoon, and it was absolutely worth it. This is one of those experiences that's really hit or miss, so keep in mind that the amount of bioluminescence you see isn't something the tour company can control. We got lucky because there was so much activity that night! We actually didn't kayak very far since the bioluminescence was so active right near the shoreline. We spent most of our time enjoying it from that area because there was no need to go much farther. Also, don't expect your phone camera to do it justice. It's incredibly hard to capture on camera, and it's so much more breathtaking in person. I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and I already can't wait to do it again!
