F. Burton Smith Regional Park

This expansive 1,080-acre scenic park is a popular venue for large group picnics and community events. The hardwood hammock, pastureland, prairie and wetland ecosystems inspire nature and wildlife enthusiasts, while the park amenities invite group activities.

There are several pavilions within the park.  A large event pavilion, with the option of a kitchen, and a view of a small nature pond.  Two smaller pavilions, with grills, are located near a playground, restrooms, and lake. The lake also has two family picnic shelters nearby, along with a natural canoe launch (fishing is welcomed there, and in the tributaries, although swimming is not allowed). 

A rustic tent camping site for non-profit organizations and a woodland trail are located on the south side of the lake.  The park also features a disc golf course and a volleyball area.

Tent Camping available for non-profit organizations by reservation only. Campers must obtain permit in person at Central Area- Mainland Office. Check out time at 2 p.m. Must be 18 or up to rent.
