"ABOUT GEORGE'S LAKE
Located in Between Two-State Forests
George's Lake is located in northern Putnam County, conveniently situated between two lush state forests: Belmore State Forest and Etoniah Creek State Forest.
Swimming, Fishing, Boating, and More
George's Lake is known for its clear water and sandy bottom.
Visitors and residents enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing all less than 50 miles from Jacksonville. Some of the more popular fish caught in George's Lake are largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, and catfish.
George’s Lake Public Boat Ramp is easily accessible for those who need to drop their boat in the lake.
Fun at the State Parks
Belmore State Forest is a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Hunting and fishing are both permitted during specific times of the year. Wildlife is abundant in Belmore, and visitors might see wild turkeys, white-tailed deer, hawks, and songbirds if they are lucky. There are even a few threatened species that call Belmore their home. The gopher tortoise, Sherman’s fox squirrel, Florida black bear, American alligator, and the eastern indigo snake can also be found on a lucky day.
Etoniah Creek State Forest is just as fun. The forest spans 8,879 acres of land, and this forest offers many of the same recreational opportunities as Belmore. Etoniah Creek has three hiking trails available.
George's Lake is just a short drive to the vibrant cities of Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, St Augustine and Daytona Beach. There are museums, zoos, a planetarium, and more state parks to fill your schedule."

This stay was our seventh since 2020.As I have said in prior reviews, I grew up in Jacksonville. I am very familiar with this area. If you are looking for an excellent North Florida lake experience, you search is over.This is an excellent place to stay. BTW, we don't think the photos do it justice, as beautiful as they are.

Overall, we were able to enjoy the peaceful setting and unwind which was the goal. However, the property needs some work to meet minimum expectations for a property at this price point.
-the kitchen oven, cupboards, flooring, microwave, dishwasher were all filthy. Food particles were found on dishes, roaches were found along baseboards and in the cupboards over the microwave. This was supposed to be the ventilation we think but it is in need of repairs as it isn't venting anything.
Sheets were dirty with hair and smelled of perfume in the middle of the pillows. Although the owner had a cleaning person come, she said the perfume we smelled on the pillows was fabric softener. Then she didn't even take the pillow cases off for us to put newly washed sheets on. She also stated the cupboards needed paint. We wiped them down ourselves and removed the food.
The koi pond and dock were nice enough. There isn't a lack of remote controls and the overall upkeep on the property needs to be addressed.
We ended up not using the grill even after replacing the exploding battery in the ignitor only to find there was no propane left in the tank. Again, at this price, my expectations were not met.
I appreciate the owners communication and attempt to fix things but in the end, I don't want to arrive at my vacation to wait on things to be corrected. It should just be ready to go.
