Lake Ella is a picturesque park that’s a must-see gem during your stay in Tallahassee. It’s situated in Lake County, Florida, and offers an array of fine dining and accommodations. The park is the ideal choice for a tranquil stroll or exploring the cottage stores surrounding the lake. The park is an ideal spot to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The park boasts picnic shelters, a paved walking trail that encircles the lake, and a site for community activities. You’ll also catch a glimpse of some of the local wildlife as you stroll around the lake, especially the variety of ducks. If you’re going to visit, you can walk or skate around the lake. Lake Ella is also host to a variety of local events including regular food truck events, holiday celebrations, concerts, and seasonal markets.

This is a nice place to enjoy nature, go for a little walk around the lake, interact with the ducks and geese, or have a picnic. The lake is adjacent to a few small shops which is nice as well. There are restrooms, but they aren't something that I would necessarily recommend using unless you absolutely need to. There are a few picnic tables scattered about the park, but I think there could be a few more. It can be tough to snag one if you're there at peak times.

Nice place to have a walk around. Not so big. Ducks (a lot, don't feed them!!), trees, free planking lots. Good views. Sometimes few homeless stops by the picnic areas in the west side and use them al the time. Nice little shops around. The near black dog bar is a good point to start the circle. A cicle group strata from there.

As always I love lake ella. I know the bike shop is hard to get to in certain hours but the rest of the stores rock also I like the chocolate shop and I like the store The Quarter Moon .. less than nice. I could not help it because I had to say what I had to say because it was true. Or at least my opinion of it was true. I know what I was saying, It was and remains true . My favorite part is on the weekends there is a I believe sax player that plays saxophone out on the gazebo in the middle of the island in the echoes of every building around there and it's very beautiful. One should take a walk around slowly... Take a look at the Serene water. Watch the ducks enjoy people watching because that is one of the best parts there people are usually mellow walking around that lake. Bring anyone no matter what their age is. So children young and old will be safe here. And They WILL still have no matter the restrictions placed on them. Come on come on cuz this place is really...
