I have lived in lake wales for over 20 years and brought my sister here when she visited. We rented kayaks $20 for about 2 hours. What a thrill! This was better than an amusement park. We saw an 8ft gator cross our path. Many birds and a fawn. I enjoyed the observation tower and the trails are white silica sand and in those parts can be walked barefoot.

If you are adventurous this park can offer you a great time and you can camp there too. Camp store attendant Carl was very friendly. Only $5 and plenty of parking and not a lot of people even in February
