About Lake Louisa State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Scott Spaulding
Summer is here and with it warm temperatures, blooming wildflowers and a myriad of wildlife for you to enjoy.
This is the perfect time of year to spot deer, turkey and gopher tortoises that are out enjoying the warm weather. Swallow-tailed kites and Eagles have recently been spotted. Spend the day on our 20 miles of hiking, nature or equestrian trails to revel in the joys of summer!
If you're interested in exploring scenic Lake Dixie, kayaks or canoes can be rented from the ranger station at $8.00 for the first two hours and $3.00 every other hour with a refundable $20 deposit. We'll provide paddles and lifejackets too!
Picnic areas, a full facility campground, cabins and wheelchair accessible fishing piers can also be found within our 4500 acres. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call and find out more!
*Warm daytime temperatures can give way to afternoon thunderstorms. Please be sure to bring plenty of water with you if you plan on spending time on the trails and be conscious of changing weather conditions.
