Being full-time RV’ers who love paddling, we were introduced to Ocheesee Pond back in 2021. Our travels brought us back to this area (April 2023) and we couldn’t wait to get our boats in the water. We managed 2 separate trips on the paddling trail. Highly recommend. @nspiredadventures.

The pictures of Ocheesee Pond are all beautiful but they can't touch the feeling you get when slowly drifting thru the Cypress trees in your boat trying to catch the elusive fish offered up to the fishing enthusiasts. Hot summer days become shaded, calm and cool and feeling so relaxed it's hard to remember your there to fish. I highly recommend you go.

This pond has had some great bass fishing in the past. This year the 12 of us spent 7 days fishing and for the most part each of us caught 1 to 2 bass per day fishing 12 hours a day. The ones we caught were very skinny. We had a great time fishing, just don't plan on catching many. Needs some help at state level to help restore to how it use to be.

About Ocheesee Pond

Nestled amidst the mesmerizing landscape of Jackson County, Florida, Ocheesee Pond beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike with its serene beauty and promise of tranquil escapades. This picturesque pond is an ideal retreat for those seeking a slice of unspoiled Florida wilderness. Dotted with majestic cypress trees that stand like ancient sentinels in still waters, Ocheesee Pond offers both a visual feast and a sanctuary for a range of activities. A haven for paddlers, the pond presents an inviting paddling trail that leads explorers through a canopy of twisted, moss-draped trees. There's an enchanting solace in drifting along these waters, whether your paddle dips in concert with the song of local birdlife or you stop to marvel at the sun-dappled reflections. Fishing enthusiasts will find Ocheesee Pond a bit of a nostalgic challenge. Although it has historically been known for its excellent bass fishing, recent visits suggest that the bounty may be waning. Despite the skinny bass, the experience remains fulfilling, as patience often rewards a few catches and memories of angling with unconventional baits, reminiscent of childhood adventures. Caution is necessary, as getting lost is easy amidst the maze of waterways, so using a GPS and following the trail markers is recommended. Whether it's a day's paddle under a soothing sunlit shade or a fervent pursuit of aquatic prey, Ocheesee Pond holds a quiet magic, an escape and immersion into the heart of Florida's natural beauty.
