Cameron Park Lake

A hidden oasis for for ducks, geese, and kids! This little park delivers a big package. The "lake," itself is only a mile round making it easy for even the little ones to walk around at least once. On sunny days it gets pretty bright so wear sunglasses/hat since there aren't many trees to block the sun. After a lovely stroll let your kids run wild at the little playground. Rock climbing seems to be the theme, as it has a rock wall and slab climbing thingy (you'll know what I mean when you see it,Adults can grab their Tennis/Pickle rackets and hit the courts. Our try out the BRAND NEW DISC GOLF court which is HUGE and elaborately made! Can't wait to come back just to try it out!Ps. Entrance is $5 per non-residents and $3 for cameronians. Also NO DOGS, NO BIKES, and NO BAZOOKAS allowed.

Beautiful lake! So grateful to have this near us for over 13 years that we have been here. HOWEVER, whoever took over in the last two years has decided to charge residents every month of the year, when previously it was o my the summer months. To add to this insult, they want you to pay a parking fee to WALK on the grounds... Who's idea was that? With over 2 million in the parks fund and large HOAS, I think that's a bit ridiculous.

Awesome place. Tons of geese, ducks, fish. Even seen a couple small otters. My gripe.... all kinds of weirdos come here. Got people lettin their kids catch baby geese. People fishin with multiple fishing poles. Most of em look shady like they have no license. People walking dogs and/or have bikes (all prohibted). The biggest problem is nobody does $#*% about it. Staff doesnt do anything. Never seen any type of law enforcement out there. It's a free for all (during the off season when it's free to get in). They button up on rules, it'd be 5 stars.

I am in love with this park. We went a few days ago and have been thinking about it ever since! We drove up one morning and were easily able to get a parking spot. There were a few families walking around the lake, but it was pretty empty. The views are gorgeous and the walk is terrific.And if you play Pokémon Go, you will love this place as well. Not only will you get great exercise, but you will catch a ton of rare Pokémon. We stayed there for about 3 hours and caught about 30-40 Magikarp, 5 Dratini, 1 Dragonair, tons of Psyducks and Slowpokes. It was fun to walk around the lake and observe the people who were out there to power walk, to stroll, or to Pokémon. My husband and I were laughing at what we guessed the non-Pokémoners were thinking of all these people who were walking with their eyes glued on their phones. :POne lady walked up to us and she's like "Can I ask you a question? What's a Dratini?" We explained it to her and she soon understood it was about Pokémon. :)It's very clean, even the restrooms. There are tennis courts, Bbq areas, and a gazebo nearby too.Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and bring sunglasses and a visor/hat! We wish we had brought a hat last week.Apparently in the summer, it costs $5 a person to enter, but since January is off season, it was free. Yay!!No pets allowed, which was kinda nice. It was tough enough trying to avoid goose droppings everywhere. Too bad the entire path can't be paved. Can't wait to go back to this place. It's gorgeous and I felt so alive after our 4.5-mile Pokémon walk. :)

I love Cameron Park lake . It's been a lot cleaner on the walking path recently . I love how it's 1 mile around the lake . It makes the mile a breeze. I just wish it was free to walk year round .

It would have been nice of the CSD to give us a heads up on their "no dog policy". It wasn't in the flyers and there were no signs put up along the entrances. This is unacceptable and I will never pay for the summer spectacular again.

I came for the large mouth bass (LMB) and was not disappointed. I caught 7 decent size bass within 2 hrs last Sunday from 7-9pm. All were catches and released. I didn't like having to pay $5 however, I can taking the whole family here to enjoy the picnic tables and swimming.

Great little lake to take the family too. You can take your tube or kayak on the lake. They also have paddle boats to rent. There is a track that goes all the way around the lake(1 mile). They also have a swimming hole with life guards on duty. Tennis courts and play ground. Plenty of parking available. Picnic area with bathrooms and business to buy drinks (not sure if they sell food too). It does cost to enter. $5 for non residents and $3 for residents. Charge per person not by the vehicle. This lake is a catch and release lake only.

Love looking at wild life and walking around the lake. I noticed they are installing toll machines by the entrance wonder how much the fee will be ? Hopefully reasonable

Took the grandkids fishing. Although the operator said there were lots of fish, we did not catch any nor see anyone else catch any. On the plus side, it was a nice looking park with beautiful swans, geese, turtles, etc. The park was a bit dirty due to all the animal fleeces.
