About Blue Cypress Lake

Blue Cypress Lake is one of the most beautiful natural lakes in Florida.

The average depth of Blue Cypress Lake is 8 feet and it has some of the cleanest water found in any Florida lake. Blue Cypress Lake is approximately 6,555 acres and is the headwaters to the St. Johns River.

The majority of Blue Cypress Lake's edges are lined with cypress trees. There are small bayous with lily pads, sawgrass and submerged logs around the edges. Fish attractors have been placed around Blue Cypress Lake in the more open areas of the lake.

Blue Cypress Lake is best known for Large Mouth Bass, Speckled Perch (Crappie), Bluegills, Shellcrackers and Catfish.



Blue Cypress Lake and Middleton's Fish Camp are located at the end of a rustic 5-mile graded road (sometimes graded "F"!), off SR 60, that winds through fields, wetlands, pastures and farmlands. Please be sure to wave when you pass anyone along the way, as is customary in these here parts.

"Primitive camping" (i.e.; no hookups) is available for tent campers and RVs, however space is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis.

As beautiful as things are here, we do have to share our World with bugs, snakes and other creatures. Please come prepared.
