Cypress, black gum, bay and pine trees stand tall to greet you as you enter the Oseola's marshy terrain. 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 at this day-use area. Restrooms, picnic tables, grills, drinking water and a group picnic shelter are provided.
Anglers are sure to like the barrier-free pier near the boat launch and parking area.
Buzzing saws and steam locomotives of yesterday will come alive as you meander along the boardwalk leading to the edge of the lake. Hog Pen Landing offers you a small primitive site with a chemical toilet and a public boat launch. Relish the quiet moments while Spanish moss sways with the wind, and you watch the great blue heron fish for dinner. Hunt Camps Hunting is a very popular activity on the Osceola National Forest. General gun season runs from mid-November to early January, and during that time all camping is restricted to designated hunt camps and Ocean Pond Campground.
