Oscar Scherer State Park Loop F

Lake Manatee State Park offers a fun, family-friendly biking experience along our 2.5-mile paved interior road that winds through pine flatwoods down to the shore of beautiful Lake Manatee, through our day use area nestled in sand pine scrub and finally winds lazily through our two campground loops. This is a smooth and pleasant ride. There are also 2.34 miles of off-road cycling with a variety of terrain for the more adventurous of heart. Here you can check out the wildlife, enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the lake, wind through different habitat, see the wildflowers in bloom, observe the restorative results of prescribed fire and step back in time for a glimpse of whatthe Real Floridais all about! A Manatee County ordinance restricts the use of boat motors to 20 horsepower or less on Lake Manatee. The ordinance also prohibits water-skiing.
