History
The park contains one of Florida's oldest oak trees, with roots stretching back several centuries. This tree stands as a natural monument reflecting the region's long past.

Anglers come to these waters throughout the year to fish for various species. The lake holds significance as part of a larger system that supports recreational fishing traditions in the region.
Practical
