Funny I have visited St. Augustine several times over the years and never hung out here. It is unfortunate too because the inn we stay at is literally feet from this lake! I actually did not realize how big it is.
We decided to go on a walk with our munchkin while we were waiting for happy hour to start. It was a beautiful day and a perfect time to visit here. It is very peaceful and quiet. We were the only ones present when we arrived and one other person showed up while we were there.
As you can see from the pictures, it is gorgeous. The water is so calm that it looks like glass. There were birds there that I did not recognize, which was neat. We only stayed in one corner of the lake but there is a path that runs right outside of it.
The lake does flood the local area when there are storms, which is quite often in Florida. There have been several times we visited the area and the streets surrounding the lake were flooded with at least 6 inches of water. There was a person fishing but I did not see him catch anything while we were there. read more
