Just south of Clermont, Florida you’ll find three big lakes that are part of Lake Louisa State Park—Louisa, Hammond, and Dixie. The park itself is massive, clocking in at 4,372-acres. While you don’t need to trek too far to get a glimpse of the shores of any of these lakes, we do have one particular trail that will lead you straight to natural beauty. There are plenty of hiking options for you to choose from in this state park, but, sometimes it’s best to start simple. Check out the Hammond Lake South Loop in Florida for an easy hike to the shores of Hammond Lake.  

Lake Louisa State Park has quite a few trail systems to check out, but if you want to start off easy, we recommend the Hammond Lake South Loop.

There is very minimal elevation change throughout this trail which makes it a great option for beginners or nature lovers looking for something straightforward.

You’ll start this hike at the very end of the campground behind a campsite and wander your way around Hammond Lake and back.
