Review:

McKethan Lake Recreation Area is part of Florida's Withlacoochee State Forest public recreation section, located along the banks of the 57-acre lake of the same name. The recreation area, which is located within the forest's Headquarters Tract just north of Brooksville, offers three picnic pavilions and a number of day-use picnic sites, perfect for relaxing with lunch in the beautiful wilderness scenery. A paved single-lane nature trail circles the lake, with vehicular access offered to reach picnic sites. A two-mile nature trail also provides opportunities to view native wildlife such as hawks, owls, and white-tailed deer. Anglers can enjoy excellent fishing opportunities along the lakeshore, while families with young ones can play at the area's children's playground.
