Lake Louisa State Park Lake Louisa State Parkis 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.

A short drive from Orlando, this park is noted for its six beautiful lakes, rolling hills, and scenic landscapes. Lake Louisa is the largest in a chain of 13 lakes connected by the Palatlakaha River, which is designated as an Outstanding Florida Waterway. Lake Louisa, Dixie Lake, and Hammond Lake, the park's most accessible lakes, provide access for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Anglers can fish in four of the park's six lakes, but gasoline-powered boats are not allowed; only boats powered by trolling motors or without motors are permitted. Camping facilities and more than 15 miles of horse trails are available for equestrians. For hikers and backpackers, the park has over 20 miles of hiking trails with excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Dixie Lake has a fishing pier, canoe/kayak launch, and a picnic pavilion.The park also has a full-facility campground, fully furnished cabins for rent, and primitive campsites. Lake Louisa State Park is located just seven miles south of State Road 50 in Clermont on U.S. 27.
