Safety
- Assume no lifeguard
- Prohibited. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in Florida state parks (F.A.C. 62D-2.014).
- Pets are welcome on a 6-foot leash in most of the park but not inside the formal gardens or the swimming area.
From the rangers: Swimming is in Lake Hall, a natural lake, so expect limited visibility and a natural bottom. Boats with gas motors are not allowed on the lake, but paddlers share the water with swimmers.
