We found Oscar Scherer State Park almost directly across the street from Bentley’s Boutique Hotel in Osprey.
There we found a playground, pavilions, the early stages of the Lester Findley Hiking trail, a kayak and canoe launch and of course, picnic facilities.
Here we found a playground, picnic facilities a beach for swimming and a visitor’s center.
In addition to the lake, there are nearly a dozen walking trails – ranging from the short trek around Lake Osprey to the five mile long “Yellow Trail,” that goes through everything from Hardwood Hammocks to Pine Flatwoods.
