City and Destination Information

Lake City lies at the crossroads of Interstates 10 and 75, making it a convenient access point to the region. It offers the best variety of accommodations and restaurants in the area.

One soon leaves behind the rush of the freeway upon entering Columbia County, known as the Freshwater Capital of America. Just off the interstate, stop at the Columbia County Tourist Welcome Center and Florida Sports Hall of Fame, the state’s official sports memorabilia museum covering everything from bowling to auto racing. The Columbia County Historical Museum resides in a circa-1870 home furnished in keeping with the period and displaying artifacts pertaining to local Civil War lore. Nearby, the Olustee Battle Festival reenacts an important battle each February.

Lake City is the gateway for canoeists, cyclists, bird watchers, campers, hunters, horseback riders and fishermen who make their way to the 200,000-acre Osceola National Forest and other park lands. The Forest’s Ocean Pond Campground sits on the north banks of a blue water lake with a beach and boat ramp. A picnic area and sandy beach called Olustee Beach face it across the 1,760-acre Ocean Pond lake.
