It is located off Highway 90 approximately twelve miles east of Lake City and 50 miles west of Jacksonville. 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 public boat launch. Relish the quite moments while Spanish moss sways with the wind, and watch the great blue heron fish for dinner. Here you can admire the lake's tranquil beauty, swim along the beach shore, launch a boat, camp, or just visit with friends and family at the group picnic shelter. Come early for lakeshore camping where you can keep your boat at your site.
