Seminole State Park sits on the shores of Lake Seminole with extensive longleaf pine forests, sandy beaches, and multiple points where visitors can reach the water. The park spreads across about 1,500 acres of natural landscape with varied habitats throughout.
The park was created near Lake Seminole, which formed in 1957 when the Jim Woodruff Dam was completed. This water project transformed the landscape and eventually led to the park's establishment.

The park offers lodging in lakeside cottages and camping areas along with boat ramps for water access. Visitors should note that seasonal conditions affect accessibility in some areas of the grounds.
The park protects gopher tortoises and serves as a year-round home for osprey and bald eagles that hunt along the water. These animals are often spotted by visitors exploring the natural areas.
