Visit the Official Florida State Park, Lake June-in-Winter Scrub Preserve State Park at: https://www.floridastateparks.org/par...

This park is a quiet 845-acre preserve that provides protection for sand scrub, "Florida's desert," one of the state's most endangered natural communities.

Some of Florida's rarest and most imperiled plant and animal species, including the Florida scrub-jay, Florida scrub lizard, Florida mouse, gopher tortoise and the Eastern indigo snake, are found here. Ospreys and bald eagles are frequently sighted along the three miles of lakefront, and white-tailed deer, bobcat and black bear are occasionally seen.

Amenities are few, but the natural experience is exceptional. Visitors can hike along the white sugar sand firelanes, walk a half-mile nature trail, fish from the lake shore or launch a lightweight canoe or kayak onto the lake. A picnic area has a shelter with tables, but no grill.

The park is located on the west side of Lake June-in-Winter. It is just a 10-minute drive west from the town of Lake Placid and approximately 30 minutes from Highlands Hammock State Park. It is approximately 12 miles south of Sebring off U.S. Highway 27.

Travel U.S. 27 to County Road 621, turn west and drive approximately four miles to Daffodil Road. Continue driving south on Daffodil for approximately two miles to the park entrance.

Park GPS coordinates: N 27º 17.792 W 81º 25.469
