This lake is set up for water skiing. There are five nationally-recognized competitive water ski courses in the park that can accommodate regular, wake board and kneeboard skiing. Can you see the jump ramp out in the lake? Hopefully, there aren't any alligators in there!
"A lake is the landscapes most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder
measures the depth of his own nature."

There seem to be alligators in every body of water in Florida. As long as they don't come ashore and bother you, those water skiiers had better watch out for them!

Looks like a great place for a picnic and some water skiing. My mom loves to water ski but rarely gets the chance.
ReplyDeleteSuper-fun lake-walk, O. More importantly - did you get anything from the grill???
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,

We think just-where-the-skiers-land off the ramp might be an ideal Gator hangout....just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so nice to walk around the lake, Ozzie. And then maybe catch some tidbits from the grill:)

I have been there. Great park and it looks like you had a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteYou should take up waterskiing, Oz.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
It's so pretty there. Always keep an eye out for those gators, lol!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I remember always wanting to see the Cypress Gardens water skiers. We had a competitive ski tournament here for several years. I love watching water sports.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd wanna meet a gator.
ReplyDeleteWe don't live very far from Okeeheelee Park, but we have never been. Mom has gone there.
ReplyDeleteYou go to such pretty places OZ

ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to simon a blanket and watch the skiers for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteRing Ding Ding Dong Hello Oz ~ So Daddy-dog was in charge of the grilling. Did he do a great job, did he grill you up something special? Sounds like he had to work the company picnic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
