History


In 1818, land near the park was the site of an early skirmish in the First Seminole War.[3] The state park was developed by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. Their handiwork can be seen in the natural stone dam built to create the 23-acre (9.3 ha) CC Pond and in the dirt roads that wind through the park.[3] Chimneys and other remnants of the camp where CCC workers lived can also be found.[2]



Activities and amenities


The park offers fishing, boating and a boat ramp in addition to campsites for RVs and tents.[4] The park also has a picnic area, beach, eight hiking trails, and dedicated equestrian trails.[2]
