TravelerOn the Florida Scenic Trail
If you’re hauling water gear or want to hike/backpack a section of the Florida Scenic Trail (FL Keys to GA state line), this is a lovely place to hang out on the small lake. Good bass fishing I’m told. Be aware that folks are “running their hounds” and you may hear them through the night. Vault toilets are not cleaned regularly so come prepared with sanitizers if you need to use them.
