Its beautiful but....no pets allowed. We didn't realize that before we drove all the way there. Its a beautiful spot with a playground that had a bunch of screaming children and some drunk adults. So that's allowed I guess but not your dog. 🤷🏼‍♀️ as a taxpayer it annoys me greatly to not be able to use areas my tax dollars pay for.

Just a short drive North out of Brooksville, in a historic locale you'll find this off the beaten path gem. I prefer to call it a hidden gem. You won't find tons of traffic, people, noise or banter. IF that's what ya want, head to the beach! Instead you will find solace. Serenity. Quiet. A place to relax and reflect. The park is 'anchored' by a small lake. No speed boats, just reflections of the clouds above. There are a few small trails to conquer. And a short rickety wooden bridge, not much higher than tall grass, and no longer than a moment. But it's all a portrait of simple pleasures. I will sometimes just sit at one of the rustic wooden picnic tables and wonder how that huge oak got uprooted but still thrives. For me that's a symbol of pure survival, and a reminder to us humans. If you let it, time can slow down or even stand still here. Leave the driving to Mother Nature, and relax. Enjoy!

Does it have public boat ramp

Check out the 360 photo in the NE corner of the lake. The one that is slightly further away from the lake shows a sign that says "Boat Launch." It looks like a primitive launching site. Unknown if there is a ramp there or if it is just natural. I'm tempted to launch a kayak from there.
