Lake Eckles


April 28, 2024

Lake Eckles is a popular fishing spot in Florida, known for its abundant species of fish such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. The lake is surrounded by a 60-acre park that offers plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds for families. Fishing tips include using live bait such as shiners or worms, and fishing near structure such as docks or fallen trees. The best time to visit is in the fall when the temperature ranges from 70-80°F, and the fish are particularly active in feeding. Other nearby activities include hiking and camping in the nearby state parks.
