About Lake Talquin State Park

A stretch of shoreline just south of Lake Talquin marks the entrance, reached from State Road 20 by way of Jack Vause Landing Road near the Fort Braden community. The property spans roughly 426 acres and falls under the management of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Recreation and Parks. Its position along the lake's southern edge gives visitors direct access to the water from this access road.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
