Fox Lake Park — Attraction in Florida

This is our top spot for launching our kayaks. There is a boat ramp with a wooden dock that runs alongside and makes it easy to drop them in the water and climb in. Parking is in the grass; one time while visiting for a car show it had been raining and our rear-wheel drive car got stuck, despite the fact that we tried to park where we didn't see any mud. There are public restrooms throughout, but the only ones that appear to be open when there is not an event taking place are the ones next to the playground. The trees provide nice cover over about half of the park, but there are also wide open areas that I've seen large bounce houses fit with plenty of space. There is also a large pavilion with a stage next to a trailhead, but the trail is a bit confusing -markers had fallen off of the trees and were lying on the ground. For kayaking, the lake is peaceful and fun to explore; luckily, the boats head out through the channel to the...

Came here for the mountain bike trails. Right at the trail head I was greeted by a sight where someone had deficated. The parts of the trail that were passable looked like they were meant for proper MTBs. There are roots and tight hairpins, all of which I was able to easily navigate on a dirt jump bike.

The issue is the cleanliness, upkeep, and marking of the trails. I was only able to get about 1/2 a mile in before it became too impassable and blocked by tons of heavy machinery and other equipment.

High-school days we'd ruthlessly play kickball, football, volleyball, and of course some more fishing to be done! I had my 21st Birthday under one of the pavilions with the paid for alcohol permit! Now as a husband and father I get to take our little girl to go play on the same grounds as I once did..truly came full circle! Oh and like me my little girl loves to fish, she says we have time for at least one cast! Decent size park with boat ramp, restrooms, a large event size pavilion, and scattered pavilions throughout for a nice picnic with view of nature to listen and...
