Lake Seminole Park is a 250-acre municipal park located on the shores of Lake Seminole in Pinellas County, Florida, and serves as a designated wildlife sanctuary.[1] It is home to biking and walking trails, which include a main two-mile-long paved trail, with a 1-mile cutoff option.[2] There are multiple small paths that are about half a mile long that go around a pond and a playground.

Wildlife

[edit]

The park's wildlife consists of alligators, bald eagles, black vultures, roseate spoonbills, osprey, tiger swallowtail, pickerelweed, river otters, and green tree frogs.

Amenities

[edit]

Lake Seminole Park offers 13 picnic shelters that can be reserved online, a ball field and two playgrounds. Since there is a boat ramp people are able to go fishing in the lakes. The most important fishing species in the lakes are bass, crappie, bream, shellcraker, catfish, gar, and carp.

There is a recycling collection unit in the park, which is location 29, in Pinellas County.[3]
