Manager's Message

We are currently working on repairs to the Lake Louisa Beach bathhouse.
Please pardon our noise and be aware of construction equipment and personnel.
The restrooms will remain open for public use.

Lake Louisa State Park is as always a unique place to come and see a part of the real Florida. We still have some beautiful Florida winter days, when the sun is shining and the breezes are cool. On foot or on top of a bicycle, our trails give an opportunity to unwind while getting fresh air and possibly a glimpse of our wonderful wildlife. Our beach itself offers plenty of picnic tables and barbeque stands for a great cookout day, while enjoying the scenery of Lake Louisa and its surrounding cypress trees. For the ones who have the pleasure of bringing a horse, our trails will give a chance to experience the park from yet another angle. The pavilion at Dixie Lake day use area, which is another picnic area, is easy to access and also close to one of our fishing piers. There is always something to do or experience for someone who loves nature.

Welcome to our beautiful park.
