Beluthahatchee Park is a 4-acre park on the William Bartram Scenic Highway within a 70-acre tract of land purchased by Stetson Kennedy in 1948, after the 18-acre Beluthahatchee lake was created by impounding Mill Creek in 1945. The lake meanders through a natural basin and is surrounded by high bluffs, currently owned by the Lake Dwellers Association, a non-profit Florida corporation formed by the lakefront residents. In 1949, Kennedy subdivided and platted the 70-acre tract and recorded restrictive covenants that set aside some of the land in perpetuity as a wildlife refuge and required residential construction to be consistent with the goal of serving as a working demonstration that human and natural habitat need not be mutually exclusive, but can coexist in harmony.
