Another easy hike in beautiful Ft. Cooper State Park. A pristine 710 acre state park (permission granted) with a 160 acre lake in Inverness, FLorida. Park entrance is N 28 49.029 W 082 18.205. The lake's surroundings are lush with hammocks of sweetgum, hickory, oak and magnolia. Deer and turkey abound. The park is named after Major Mark Anthony Cooper, commander of five companies of the First Georgia Battalion of Volunteers during the 2nd. Seminole War. In April 1836. Coopers duty was to protect the sick and wounded left behind during Gen. Winfield Scott's long march from present day Tampa. For 16 days Cooper and about 380 men held out against the Seminole Indians and finally Scott returned with supplies and reinforcements. Nearly five miles of self guided trails run throughout the park and the lake is open to swimmers, campers, and hikers. Canoe and paddle boats are available for rent. Cost is a whopping $2.00 per vehicle, up to 8 passengers. Spend the day. ( or two!) Please respect the landscape and rehide the cache descreetly. Bring mosquito repellant.
