Palatlakaha River Park

Palatlakaha River Park offers boaters access to the Crooked River and the Clermont Chain of Lakes. It is also a launch point for paddlers into the Palatlakaha Run Blueway Trail. The park has two fishing piers, playground, and a pavilion with a grill, a 0.8 mile loop trail that passes through the 18 acres of habitat managed for the endemic Florida Scrub-Jay, as well as a Live Oak-Bald Cypress Hammock. The area is good for birding especially in the spring and fall. Butterflies and other animals are also often visible along the trail. The trail has numerous educational signs that point out various plants along the way.
