Description
Lake Griffin State Park is nestled in a live oak hammock on sandhill terrain, typical of Florida's Central Ridge. Between the park's upland and Lake Griffin is an expansive marsh that provides the setting for one of its most distinctive features--the "floating islands." Floating in only a few feet of water, these islands are considered prime real estate by the wading birds.
