Lake George State Forest, Protected forest in Volusia County, Florida
Lake George State Forest encompasses 21,176 acres of wetlands, pine forests, and hardwood swamps across three distinct land tracts in northwestern Volusia County.
The Timucua people constructed freshwater shellfish middens along the St. Johns River and Lake George before European settlers arrived in the region.
The forest serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through guided programs and interpretive exhibits about Florida's natural heritage.
Visitors can access designated trails for hiking, horseback riding, and primitive camping, with permits required for specific recreational activities within the forest boundaries.
The forest contains extensive pine flatwoods planted in the 1930s and 1960s, creating a managed ecosystem that supports Florida black bears and gopher tortoises.
