Lake Proctor Wilderness Area, located in Seminole County, is a 465-acre swath of land that supports multiple native ecosystems, such as flatwoods, oak hammocks, sandhills, and freshwater lakes. This site is taking massive steps to regrow native plants to recharge the local aquifer, otherwise known as the Geneva Bubble.
While there are no boat docks or camping areas, this park supports four dog-friendly trails. The main loop, color-coded red, is roughly 2.6 miles and features several branches off the main path, which lead to beautiful vistas. The blue trail leads to the edge of Lake Proctor, where several waterbirds can be spotted. It’s worth noting that the trails are open to those on horseback. Look for many native animals along the path.
This park is not ADA-accessible. Lake Proctor Wilderness Area is an excellent spot for wildlife and, for you, a short hike and birdwatching!
