Fort Cooper State Park

Fort Cooper State Park in Inverness, Florida, is a 710-acre historic and recreational site centered partly on 160-acre Lake Holathlikaha. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, it combines a recognized historic landscape with outdoor activities including fishing, swimming, canoeing, paddleboating, boat tours, hiking, camping, picnicking, and nature study. The park is accessible from U.S. Highway 41, South Old Floral City Road, and the Withlacoochee State Trail. Its habitat supports wildlife such as white-tailed deer, wild turkey, bobcat, owls, herons, and cardinals. An annual March re-enactment tied to the Second Seminole War connects its modern recreational use with its historic past.
