Description
Other or Unknown Local Government
Acquired to preserve Lake Panasoffkee's vast floodplain forest, the land also preserves pine flatwoods, freshwater marshes and oak scrub forest. As the land continues to rise, pines and scrub oaks of upland sandhills replace the wetland forest trees. A comprehensive restoration effort of Lake Panasoffkee has been completed to enhance both the water quality of the lake and recreational opportunities.
Separate sites available for equestrian and primitive camping. Sites have picnic tables, fire rings and/or grills. Eight horse stalls with water; free to campers on first-come, first-served basis. Users responsible for cleaning stalls. A free reservation is required and must be displayed or available at campground.
