This is a wonderful place to to take walks and enjoy a pleasant day. The lake is lovely. The walkways are great. Cooter turtle statue is beautiful. If you can visit the Cooter Festival in the fall, it's great fun. More

This park is a perfect representation of the surrounding county of Citrus. Banking on the "it's nature" theme, Ft. Cooper State Park is all Citrus County is ........ NOTHING! There's nothing to do here. A few swings for kids. Some boring trails leading to nowhere. And a toll booth to take your money for nothing. There is a stupid little... More

I guess there were some indians here once? They have built a stockade about 12 feet long and give speeches there. Seems like some soldiers were stuck there one winter and killed all the indians that came to the lake. Can't say much else about the woods, nothing to see or do here. More

This park is PERFECT for family reunions, experiencing nature and just enjoying a Florida State Park without the crowds. An absolutely underutilized resource that I highly recommend to get away from your day to day. The two big signature events they host really showcase the park's passion for interpreting Florida's history with Ft. Cooper Days or giving back to the... More
