I enjoy this park and the trails around it almost daily. I see mountain bikes on the higher trails. Plenty of inlets for fishing. Tons of kayakers but mostly walkers. Even an art stop to create art rocks or pieces for the fairy villages.

This is a lovely paddling trail that my husband and I enjoy often in our kayaks. The wildlife is abundant and beautiful. We like to enjoy this trail on a nice spring or fall day. Unless you're able to withstand the heat in the summer, it's probably not the best place to visit in the summer as you aren't able to jump in and enjoy the water due to the wildlife. Some parts of the trail can get thick with the water plant life but is passable. You can also get respite from the sun as you paddle through occasional groves of cypress trees. My husband and I aren't hard-core kayakers so anyone in fairly good physical condition can kayak this trail.

Great fishing lake but a private lake. Open park on the north side tho...alligators galore
About Lake Lafayette
Nestled within the lush landscapes of Florida, Lake Lafayette offers a serene escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. This privately-owned lake, with its open park area on the northern side, is a haven for those seeking a peaceful getaway on the water. The surrounding trails are perfect for walking and biking, with many visitors enjoying daily strolls amidst the beauty of nature. Kayakers will find a delightful paddling trail that both beginners and seasoned adventurers will appreciate. The water is alive with abundant wildlife, including resident alligators, making each trip on the lake a unique experience. While the summer heat can be intense, spring and fall offer ideal conditions for kayak trips, where you can glide beneath shady groves of cypress trees. Fishing enthusiasts will find Lake Lafayette to be a rewarding destination with several inlets to cast a line, though they should note the private nature of the lake's majority areas. There are fun, quirky opportunities as well, such as creating art rocks to contribute to the local fairy villages. Lake Lafayette, with its blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and a touch of whimsy, is a fantastic spot to embrace the outdoors.
