My family and I are coming down this weekend . Wanted to know how the fishing is there? Also is there a lake? What species of fish are around inbthe lake if so?

I'm not sure on the fishing since I have only been once. But I do want to warn you that the yellow fly is on the rampage! Anywhere near the woods especially at the start of the trail from the park to the beach is terrible. Once past that, they tend to leave you alone. The beach is gorgeously beautiful tho, but the walk to it is a little over a quarter mile. O just wanted to advise you so you won't make the mistake I did

Camp Helen borders both The Gulf of Mexico and Lake Powell, a unique coastal dunes lake found only in parts of Africa and a few areas along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Obviously the gulf is a good spot to catch a large variety of salt water fish. The lake itself is home to every fresh water sport fish indigenous to Florida you could imagine with only a few exceptions of course, considering those species that do not thrive in brackish. There is a kayak rental to utilize to explore the lake further. In certain areas the lake is more than 200 feet deep.

Superb Fishing! Both salt and fresh water species abound.

Lake Powell goes right into the Gulf. They have made a deeper trench so that boats can make it through. We have fished there many times. The water is a brackish mix and we've caught flounder from the shore of Lake Powell. It is great for kyack fishing.

The lake does not connect to the gulf. You get a wide variety of fish from reds to bull sharks, and may see the occasional gator of course.

There's a lake. It connects to the gulf. I'm don't know anything about fishing, but people do fish there.

Lake Powell is a dune lake. Dune lakes only exist in 4-5 areas in the world. Lake Powell is the world's largest. The lakes connection to the ocean is tenous and everchanging; depending on factors such as tide, currents,rainfall and storms.

It says it does connect to the Gulf and there's only four places in the world that does so I'm pretty sure that's in Australia LOL either way there's fish to catch thanks guys for the helpful information!

Yes

I would research the area. Someone else mentioned that the lake connected to the gulf, and by definition i don't think a lake can connect to an ocean. But you can research the area and find out what fish are probably there
