Lake June Scrub Forest State Park

 Another day, another motorcycle ride, another State Park!  We're making an effort to visit all of the state parks near us.  This one, like many we have visited, was neat and tidy, and we were the only ones there. 

As with all state parks, I learn a lot by just reading all the signs!  This park has a beautiful low bank waterfront on Lake June, which is one of the largest of the many lakes around Lake Placid in the center of Florida.  

The town of Lake Placid can be seen across the water, but the entire Southwest side of the lake is wild and undeveloped, enclosed inside the park.  The clear water looks shallow and with a sandy bottom.  Tempting for a swim, but the possibility of alligators and snakes keeps me swimming in the pool.

We saw a lot of birds, and some evidence of feral pigs rooting in the mowed areas at the park, but no signs of other animals.

When riding a motorcycle, you can't be too concerned about fashion, and I've begun collecting hats to cover my "helmet hair".
