Yesterday we decided to revisit a park that we have not walked in for a couple of years. We took about a 20 minute drive to Eagle Lake Park in Largo. The park is a 360 acre park that has lakes, paved and gravel trails, lots of natural woodlands, and great parking, pavilions, and restrooms. Admission and parking is free.
According to their Web site, if one were to walk all of the trails, a person could log about 3 miles. We took a shorter walk, but we had a great time. The paved walkways are very wide, so we had no problem staying 6 feet away from everyone else on the trail. Since we chose to go on a Monday, the park was not very busy at all.
I will let the pictures and the captions tell the rest of the story.

| The sign tells the story about the anhinga, one of Florida's most fascinating birds. |
 |
| Trails encircle Shore Lake in the middle of the park. |
 |
| The lake is a haven for a multitude of birds and turtles. And, no, we did not see any alligators! |
 |
| One of the gravel trails we walked led us through a very peaceful terrain. |
 |
| Part of the trail also includes boardwalks over parts of the lake's shores. |
