The lake also has good sunshine bass, bream, and crappie fishing. Cast your line along the outer edge of the emergent vegetation and along the part of the lakes where the cypress lines the shoreline. Visit Olustee Beach Swim along a shallow, sandy beach and watch the water birds wade through cypress knees. Water ski along the glassy, windless lake or watch the white caps roll on windy days. You may also enjoy fishing, picnicking or hiking here.
Anglers are sure to like the barrier-free pier.
Visit all kinds of Civil War battlefields and memorials, as well as get a gander at Okefenokee Swamp and Olustee Beach.

The cypress swamp boardwalk is a good place to view pileated woodpeckers and warblers. Also keep a look out for the endangered gopher tortise sunning himself outside his gigantic burrow.
