RV rental Colt Creek State Park, FL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

There's a diverse range of experiences on offer in Colt Creek State Park, so campers are spoiled for choice when planning each day's activities. However, one of the main attractions that draws visitors to this pretty region of central Florida is the wildlife watching. As the park is located within the Green Swamp Wilderness Area, it's home to all manner of creatures great and small. Alligators, bobcats, white-tailed deer, fox squirrels, and more all live in and around the park. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of some of them. Birding is also popular in the park. The bald eagle, eastern bluebird, and black-bellied whistling duck are just a few of the 150 species that have been identified in the park, which now finds itself on the Great Florida Birding Trail. Remember to pack your binoculars when loading up your campervan rental! Of course, the best way to maximize your chances of wildlife encounters is to set out on a hiking trail. Colt Creek State Park boasts a 12-mile trail network that winds through hardwood hammocks, wetlands, and pine flatwoods. The quarter-mile Mac Lake Nature Trail offers an excellent taster for those wanting to learn a little more about their natural surroundings, while the ten-mile Flatwoods Trail offers something much more challenging. The other main attraction that draws campers to Colt Creek State Park from far and wide is the chance to go fishing. There are three lakes open to fishing in the park — Mac Lake, the most popular of them all, has its own fishing dock. The lakes vary in size from two to 25 acres, and they give anglers the chance to target bluegill, largemouth bass, bream, and more. However, no gas motors are allowed on the lakes, so fishing is done from kayaks, canoes, and small jon boats. You'll also need to make sure you have an appropriate fishing license and comply with all park fishing regulations.
