Lakes & Trails

​

The Firethorne Lake is for the use and enjoyment of all members in good standing and their guests. It features a walking/jogging trail six-tenths of a mile in length that follows the perimeter of the Lake Firethorne, roughly 2 mile track around the Wildlife habitat, and 1/2 mile unofficial trail around Ryan's pond. Seating is also available at certain points along the trail. Shaded seating is located under the trees near the waterfall.

 

 

Fishing is also permitted in Lake Firethorne. Stocked varieties are Blue Gill Sunfish, Red Ear Sunfish and Florida Hybrid Bass.
