GETAWAY FROM THE CRAZINESS: COME RELAX & ENJOY THE WATER / FISHING / SUN / FUN

Quiet comfortable getaway located on the best kept secret of North Florida, beautiful George's Lake...just 46 miles south of Downtown Jacksonville, 50 miles west of St Augustine, 35 miles east of Gainesville and only 74 miles northwest of Daytona Beach. This lovely 2 bedroom / 2 bath single family home allows you to enjoy the picturesque views of the lake; sunrise, sunset, wildlife and everything else nature can offer you. Bring your boat, jetski, kayak, canoe, or just your blow up float and soak up the lake life. Don't forget your poles and plenty of bait for our renowned fishing. Load your family up and getaway to George's Lake. Relax with all of the comforts of home, but none of the stress or worries.

"ABOUT GEORGE'S LAKE

Located in Between Two-State Forests

George's Lake is located in northern Putnam County, conveniently situated between two lush state forests: Belmore State Forest and Etoniah Creek State Forest.

Swimming, Fishing, Boating, and More

George's Lake is known for its clear water and sandy bottom.
Visitors and residents enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing all less than 50 miles from Jacksonville. Some of the more popular fish caught in George's Lake are largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and catfish.

George’s Lake Public Boat Ramp is easily accessible for those who need to drop their boat in the lake.

Fun at the State Parks

Belmore State Forest is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing are both permitted during specific times of the year. Wildlife is abundant in Belmore, and visitors might see wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, hawks, and songbirds if they are lucky. There are even a few threatened species that call Belmore their home. The gopher tortoise, Sherman’s fox squirrel, Florida black bear, American alligator, and the eastern indigo snake can also be found on a lucky day.
Etoniah Creek State Forest is just as fun. The forest spans 8,879 acres of land, and this forest offers many of the same recreational opportunities as Belmore. Etoniah Creek has three hiking trails available.

George's Lake is just a short drive to the vibrant cities of Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There are museums, zoos, a planetarium, and more state parks to fill your schedule."

It was great stay and had everything we needed. We were there for work so we didn’t get to enjoy the lake but overall great experience. Only concern we had was being able to lower the AC, it was just really warm at night overall great.

We couldn’t ask for anything more! Lots of fun on the lake, swimmimg, fishing, kayaking and tubing. We stayed with our children and grandchildren.
