Lake Okahumpka is a wonderful park with all kinds of things to do. You can fish, use a Kayak (booked ahead after calling Sumter County), walk or jog, bicycle, barbecue or picnic. Its clean, well kept and well used. Take Fido there and you'll find Doggie stations and great walking paths. They have a 9 hole Frisbee Golf area, clean grills with covered tables. The bathrooms are convenient, clean and handicapped accessible. The boat launch is very easy to use with only a slight grade which makes it easy. Plenty of parking including handicapped parking. This is a terrific park. Kudos to the maintenance crew!!! Nice to see our tax dollars providing something so useful for everyone!! If you found this review helpful, please leave...

This is so convenient and close enough to the town too. Please please please check this place out. It's...
