16000 State Road 471, Lakeland, FL 33809
Birders, mountain bikers, and RV owners with big rigs will get the most from this place. The 70-foot pull-throughs are rare for a state park, the 75-foot accessible fishing dock is a legit amenity, and 150 documented bird species means spring mornings earn their alarm clocks.
Shade-seekers will struggle. The gravel sites sit in open sun, and reviewers consistently call out the heat and bugs. Summer turns this into an endurance test. Fall or winter is the move if you're tenting.

Mittry Lake Wildlife Area lies in and adjacent to the floodplain of the Colorado River between <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=297">Laguna</a> and <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=150">Imperial Dams</a>. Mittry Lake covers approximately 750 acres, with much of the shoreline covered with cattails and bullrush. Mittry Lake has recently undergone rehabilitation work including marsh dredging, revegetation and fish habitat improvement, making it an ideal location for small game hunting and sportfishing. Major species for small game hunting include waterfowl, doves, quail, rabbit and raccoon. Major species of fish in the lake include largemouth bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, crappie, and bluegill. There are no camping facilities and the area is for day use only. However there is a 3-lane boat launch ramp for motorized boating on the lake. The area is also very popular for nature study and birdwatching. <A HREF="http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/recreation/watchable/mittry.html"> More information. </a>

Spring is ideal. Highs run mid-60s to mid-80s °F, humidity drops from summer levels, and wildflowers bloom across the flatwoods. Wildlife viewing peaks with migrating songbirds, wading birds, and active gopher tortoises. Trails stay comfortable for long hikes, biking, and horseback riding. Fall and winter work well too. Comfortable temperatures, fewer bugs. Summer is brutal: intense heat, high humidity, and relentless insects. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through year-round, so pack rain gear. Trails turn muddy after rain. Weekdays and early mornings offer the quietest experience, especially on spring weekends when crowds pick up.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
