McKethan Lake Day Use Recreation Area is on U.S. 41, 0.5 mile north of Lake Lindsey Road (County Road 476), north of Brooksville. At 8 a.m. meet in the parking lot on the left, just inside the entrance.
There is a $2 per person park fee. The trip leader has made a reservation for our group with Forestry and will collect the $2 fee from participants and pay Forestry a lump sum. Please bring exact cash.
McKethan Lake Day Use Recreation Area habitat includes a hardwood hammock, a marsh, and a wetland prairie as well as open water on the lake itself. This provides an opportunity to view a variety of birds including waterfowl, herons, egrets, songbirds, and raptors. We will walk on a trail through the hardwood hammock and observe the lake, marsh, and wetland prairie. Total walking distance will be approximately 1.5 miles. There are rest rooms and drinking water.
