Burnt Park Island Park Lake Lochloosa
Lochloosa Lake is a designated Fish Management Area and located 5 miles south of Hawthorne near the town of Lochloosa. Most of the shoreline is bordered by old-growth cypress trees, and knotgrass and spatterdock are the predominant aquatic plants in the lake. On the Island there’s a fishing pier that runs out onto the lake and there are many trails that criss cross the Island around an airboat marsh. Lochloosa Lake offers good bluegill, redear sunfish and warmouth fishing during April through September; however, some bream can be caught year-round. This is a fresh water anglers paradise, hell I felt like fishing when I was there. Black crappie fishing is best from January through April in the spatterdock with grass shrimp and minnows. During summer and fall, crappie anglers should drift open water with grass shrimp and minnows. On the Island there are many birds, alligators, dear, and wild boar. Incredible place for sure and I will be going back to soon again. Its not easy at all to find by way of GPS or google maps, it took me to attempts to get on the island. We put the Rubicon Jeep through some tough mud trails and knock on wood we didn’t get stuck, but I got bit by something that caused my hand to swell up to a baseball glove. My jeep was covered in mud and I had to pressure clean it twice to get the mud and sand off. We were caught in a nasty storm while out there and didn’t get as many pictures and we wanted to, but there will be a next time.
