Lettuce Lake Regional Park, Florida, United States

4.5 (1.080 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Tampa Parks

Easy walk, lots of gators.

Lettuce Lake Park opened in 1982 and quickly became a hub of activities. The 240-acre site offers something for everyone. Wooded picnic areas and a playground are family favorites. A 1.25 mile bicycle path/jogging trail, complete with a fitness course, meander through the park. Lettuce Lake is also a haven to study nature. An interpretive center, featuring exhibits, leads to a 3,500-foot boardwalk and an observation tower where visitors can view an extensive variety of wildlife. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent to visitors to experience a wholenew side of the Park.

    Super place - Well worth the $2.00 fee. Lots of animals
    This was a very nice place. Lots of animals to see an the boardwalk is very easy to navigate, and definitely wheelchair friendly. We saw alligators and lots of different birds. Quite a relaxing walk. We also met the photographer of many of the photos in the visitor's center. He was very informative and educational gave us several tips on how to take photos of the area Well worth the stop and the two bucks.

    Get away from the hussle and bustle
    Lettuce Lake Regional Park is a great way to immerse yourself in nature without leaving the city. The boardwalk winds through the wetlands with views of the lake. A great variety of birds. The observation tower gave us beautiful views of the lake. We saw alligators swimming and heard owls talking to one another. The playground is a perfect place to let the littles run off some energy. The nature center has an informative displays and clean restrooms. Pack a lunch and spend the day!!! Kayaks and canoes are available to rent but did I mention the alligators??
