"ABOUT GEORGE'S LAKE
Located in Between Two-State Forests
George's Lake is located in northern Putnam County, conveniently situated between two lush state forests: Belmore State Forest and Etoniah Creek State Forest.
Swimming, Fishing, Boating, and More
George's Lake is known for its clear water and sandy bottom. Visitors and residents enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing all less than 50 miles from Jacksonville. Some of the more popular fish caught in George's Lake are largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and catfish.
George’s Lake Public Boat Ramp is easily accessible for those who need to drop their boat in the lake.
Fun at the State Parks
Belmore State Forest is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing are both permitted during specific times of the year. Wildlife is abundant in Belmore, and visitors might see wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, hawks, and songbirds if they are lucky. There are even a few threatened species that call Belmore their home. The gopher tortoise, Sherman’s fox squirrel, Florida black bear, American alligator, and the eastern indigo snake can also be found on a lucky day. Etoniah Creek State Forest is just as fun. The forest spans 8,879 acres of land, and this forest offers many of the same recreational opportunities as Belmore. Etoniah Creek has three hiking trails available.
George's Lake is just a short drive to the vibrant cities of Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There are museums, zoos, a planetarium, and more state parks to fill your schedule."
