The star of the show

The main attraction is our pristine white-sand beach — beautiful year round. Soak in the sun, swim the clear water, or launch the boat from our free on-site ramp.

Ten minutes away, Silver Springs State Park runs glass-bottom boat cruises over crystal rivers, wildlife shows, and botanical gardens. Disney, Busch Gardens and Daytona are all within about ninety minutes.

Come for the sunsets

The best show in Central Florida is free.

A thousand acres of open water facing west means the sunsets here are something people plan their evening around. Bring a chair, bring a drink, and watch the whole lake turn gold.
