Lake Manatee is a cute little park worth visiting. As soon as I drove in the park I had a smile on my face. There was a great vibe to it.
I parked my car a headed straight for the water to find a peaceful place to sit by the lake. I waited there a while to see if I could spot a bobcat getting a drink in the lake like the picture showed but had NO luck. I mean I would have probably had a heart attack if I had seen a real bobcat.
After laying on the bench for some time, enjoying the quiet, I took a stroll around the grounds where I found the entrance to the little campground. It almost made me entertain the idea of camping there, almost.
