-- Recreational Boaters Alert! -…read more Floridians like their boats and that's certainly true in Highlands County as we have over 100 lakes! This boat ramp is very popular and a bit special and here's why- * It's directly off US Route 27 North between Avon Park and Sebring so it's ridiculously easy to access. *It has picnic tables shaded by a small pavilion. * It has an unusual and very nice T-shaped fishing dock so you can easily fish from the shore with folk's love! See my pictures. *It even has a Little Free Library so you can grab a book if the fish aren't biting. Pro Tip- Avoid the Mexican restaurant at the site as there are many better options minutes away! Just check Yelp and my reviews. This lake is relatively small at just under 200 acres, but it's packed with bass and crappie and the fishermen love it! Pro Tip- 12lb bass have ben caught at this lake! If you are in the area with your boat or just want to do some fine freshwater shore fishing, you could have a great day here!

The grounds are clean and well maintained. I am not sure of the rental price, however, I'm sure it's worth the cost. The building is a nice size.

This is a definite consideration for events.

As a five-year resident of this teeny tiny town, I'll add to hers and here are my additions- * The pavilions are a big draw as they have nice big canopies for shade and sturdy picnic tables. Each has its own trash bin a few feet away. That's nice but they are fly and hornet magnets! Just sayin- * Because of the adjacent playground, birthday parties are common. Expect a bunch of rug rats to be running around. * This is a no pets park except for service animals of course. There is minimal chance you will step in something horrendous with your bare feet. * It's nicely lit at night so it's a nice place to enjoy the cool of the evening. * If you enjoy alcohol, as long as you wrap your can, you know what I mean, nobody with bother you. * This is rural Florida and everyone with half a brain knows every lake has gators! The beach is nice and if you swim during the day the chances of even seeing one is minuscule! If you decide to take a swim at night with an open wound, well, you didn't really need four appendages, did you?

Donaldson Park is located on East Main Street close to downtown. There are shady oaks, picnic…read morepavilions with tables, and a playground. During my visit there was birthday party in one of the pavilions. Donaldson Park sits on the shores of Lake Verona and there is a beach for swimming. I have always heard that if you swim in lakes in Florida you can get the brain eating Naegleria fowleri amoeba. When water gets up your nose it travels to your brain which is almost always fatal. There have been 37 reported cases in Florida since 1962. Peak times to get it are July through September. I am not sure if they test the water here or if people are just careful not to submerge their heads in the water. Although I grew up swimming in lakes in New Jersey, this is the first time I have seen a swimming beach on a Florida lake. Also noteworthy is the dinosaur skeleton on the beach. It features heavily in promotional pictures for Avon Park. The park is used by the City of Avon Park for events like the Blueberry Festival and Christmas in the Park. The beach looked inviting but I am just not sure how safe it is to swim here.
