Reviews
"Well maintained park. Worth the $2 admission. The board walk during the week was not very busy, shared it with 6-8 people. Most quiet and respectful. Very nice park, we plan another visit soon. Great place to see Turkey Vultures in their winter habitat."
"Great place for kayaking, the staff was helpful and polite. You might want to go a bit early in the morning to not have a wait to get your kayak on the water. Keep in mind you might not see that many gators when it's cold."
"Hidden gem! This place is beautiful and peaceful. There's so much wildlife to view. The trails are well maintained and marked well. The park was a hit for the whole family. We saw a gator, many birds, and a turtle. I got lost in the sauce, so I didn't get a ton of photos, but the place is beautiful, and you need to check it out! The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff were informative and kind. The visitor center was awesome as well. There's a small entrance fee, and they only take cash. There are a few stores nearby with ATMS!"
"Lettuce Lake Park is a beautiful park! The boardwalk through the swamp offers alligator sightings (from a safe distance) and close up views of a variety of birds. I love this place and look forward to visiting it again!"
"A beautiful park and so worth the price that you pay. A wide variety of birds that you see as well. The boardwalk is nicely maintained and you get to see a lot of species on the walk. I highly recommend if you want to spend a short or a long time. There are picnic tables to have a meal to spend a longer time."
