We have been walking the hiking trails here for over 25 years ( with and without dogs), through total dry lake bed one year, to almost overflowing lake and streams. It's a great place to experience North Florida. The variety of vegetation is amazing and you can see squirrels (some albinos), hawks, etc.

About Lake Hiawatha
Nestled in the heart of North Florida, Lake Hiawatha offers a diverse and ever-changing natural landscape for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. This picturesque lake is surrounded by extensive hiking trails that meander through lush forests and open fields, providing the perfect backdrop for a serene escape into nature. Over the years, the lake has displayed different faces—from parched dry lake beds to abundant water-filled basins, each version offering its own unique experience. The rich variety of vegetation around the lake is a feast for the eyes and a haven for wildlife, with frequent sightings of squirrels, including the rare albino kind, and hawks soaring high above. Adventurous visitors should remain aware of their surroundings, as alligators and snakes are among the natural inhabitants of this beautiful area. Lake Hiawatha is a quintessential slice of North Florida’s charm, where the landscape continuously transforms yet remains consistently captivating. Whether you’re exploring the trails with your four-legged companion or soaking up the tranquil atmosphere solo, there’s something magical about the lake that beckons year-round discovery. The juxtaposition of serenity and wildness adds to its allure, making it a perfect destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. So pack your hiking boots, immerse yourself in the natural beauty, and experience the captivating allure of Lake Hiawatha for yourself.
