Manager's Message
Fall is here, and the days are beginning to get a little cooler. This marks the
start of our busy season so be sure to make your campground and cabin
reservations now so you can enjoy all the great things our park has to offer.
The welcome relief from the summer heat makes such opportunities as strolling
along our scenic trails, bird watching, or just relaxing in the great outdoors
even more enjoyable.
The cooler weather also beckons many equestrians to bring their horses to our
park. Besides the 20 plus miles of horse trails, they can also stay overnight in
our horse camp. We have opened a new road leading to the camping area from the
park’s main drive. This makes it convenient to get there for camping or day use
from our main entrance on US 27.
Lake Louisa State Park has something for everyone and I hope you can visit our
beautiful park soon.
- Charles McIntire, Park Manager
Welcome to Lake Louisa State Park
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 and primitive campsites. Cabins should be
available in the spring of 2005. Located just seven miles south of State Road 50
in Clermont on U.S. 27.
