Beautiful get park all around. Great boardwalk and view from. At times eerily quiet as you walk along it. Helps to reset ones mind.

Beautiful Florida is disappearing and becoming the new Manhattan. Enjoy what is left of our natural resources before our fragile ecosystem is depleted for condos and town houses. Beautiful and very quiet here.

Very Beautiful. Be safe. Very Wild. Picture perfect. Nice playground are picnic tables. Not water friendly serious alligator territory. Keep dog tight on leash. Endless swamp. Lake is really big too! Undeveloped no houses or docks or condos anywhere in sight. Thats the magnificence of it all. Hope it stays that way.

Great park with a huge boardwalk over the lake and wetlands. Massive old cypress trees are along the shore. There is a nice playground and restrooms.

This is a great park to teach small children about nature and wildlife or just get away from it all and clear your head. Very well maintained facility.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to be! Great view to the lake from the boardwalk! It has kids games and good restrooms. Parking spaces might be limited but still enough. They have camping spaces but you need a permit. Access is not easily seen when you are driving so listen to your google maps very carefully! But it was an awesome experience

Quiet park with lots of huge cypress trees on beautiful Lake Ashby. It is a little way off SR415, but google will take you straight there. Nice walking trails and boardwalk over part of the lake and through swampy areas. Park has playground and restrooms (always clean), and there is ranger on-site all the time. Great place to take kids fishing or exploring. There is also a boat launch nearby.

I had never heard of this park and while at pells nursery for oranges Barbara told me about it. Huge beautiful lake in the woods off a wooded nature trail. Big boardwalk on northwest side of lake .. 1/4 off a mile long. Only been once but coming back. Perhaps to camp as there is a campground.

It has always been a place my kids and I would go when we are stressed and need a place to go hide and get away. Just be us and happy live the way there are bathrooms and a park with swings next to the eating area. So you can be close to the kids if needed!

Clean area for camping, the kids love the park and trails. Restrooms available. Large raised area to set up the tent, ground is easy to stake. The lake has a wooden walkway for fishing and photos. Walk the trails during the summer, its much cooler under the trees and more photogenic.

A great little park with a play ground, pavilions, grills and clean restrooms available. There are several nice tent camping sites and lovely trails that even the newest and littlest hikers can manage. The lake is easily accessible from the park and offers beautiful scenery with good fishing. There is also a boat ramp near by.
