First time camping at Lake Louisa State Park. We had a great site with a beautiful view of Lake Dixie. Came in late Friday night to a gorgeous sunset! Electric and water hook- ups with a dump station close by. Great place to ride bikes, kayak, hike and trail ride. Loved the rolling hills and amazing views-check out Lake Louisa after you pass through the ranger station. Everyone was very accommodating. We couldn’t arrive the day we planned so I notified the ranger station- no problem, our reservation /site was secured for the next day( we had already paid in full). I will definitely be back to camp but also for day trips to hike and bike.

4. Crooked River Preserve

Places can be shallow in the dry season, so make sure you have a navigator watching the depth from the bow. And in places the river can get a bit narrow, so two large vessels (like pontoons) may have to work out who's going to reverse so the other can pass. It's a great place to see wildlife, and pretty much the only passage to get from Lake Louisa to the rest of the chain of lakes. If you're in a hurry, you're going to have a bad time.

Spend a couple hours or the entire day. Purple martins return from South America every year and are there now. Great walk bike path you can take around the entire lake. There are bike rentals a restaurant and a coffee shop. A beach and a splash area for little kids. Picnic tables and benches all around. Good parking. The Main Street downtown is also a good a place to stop and there are many ponds and nice areas around.
