Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swim in the lake?
No — lake swimming and beach access are not available due to American alligators. Swimming is restricted to the park’s pool complex. Exercise caution when fishing or boating near the shoreline.
Is the resort lodge like a hotel?
Yes — the Lakepoint Resort Lodge offers 101 hotel-style rooms, an on-site restaurant (Water’s Edge), a convention center, and resort amenities. It’s a full-service lodge, not a rustic cabin experience. There are also 29 separate cabins and 10 lakeside cottages for guests who prefer more privacy.
