The recreation area also serves as a trailhead and designated campground along the hiking-only Florida Trail.</p><p><strong>Camping</strong></p><ul><li>Tent and small trailer camping is available at 30 sites within the pine forest along the western shore of Lake Delancy. All sites are within close proximity to the OHV corral, the Ocala North OHV Trail System and the Florida Trail. Heads up: Bears do frequent this area. You are required to store your food in a bear-proof container or in your vehicle.</li></ul><p><strong>Fishing</strong></p><ul><li>We provide access to the lakeshore marshes for fishing.
