Lake Louisa State Park

Most of the land around Lake Louisa was settled by John and Louise Driggors Hammond. Besides the family home, they built a turpentine still, a combination school & church, a sawmill, shingle mill, cooperage, commissary and worker's cabin. They exported their goods across Lake Louisa by steamboats & barges.


The Bronson family bought some of the land and planted orange groves and had a cattle ranch. The property was purchased by the state in 1973 and became a state park in 1974. Lake Louisa State Park was opened to the public in 1977.


According to the Lake Louisa State Park brochure 2 prehistoric dugout canoes were found in Lake Louisa in 2001 during the drought and the lake level dropped. Later that year the remains of a P-51 Mustang was also found.


Site #35 is a back-in with full hookups (50 amp electric).
