Visit Freeport’s Florida Lake

A 167-acre property owned by the Town of Freeport, the large, shallow lake and surrounding wetlands are excellent habitat for waterfowl and a wide variety of birds, as well as beaver, deer, and moose. From the parking area a flat path provides easy access to the lake. Hiking trails branch off the gravel path and pass through mature forests and by wetlands and streams. The trails can be very wet: boots and a sense of adventure are recommended.
