Lake Rogers Park

The Lake Rogers Park is located in St. Petersburg, Florida. It offers 272 acres of space and is owned by the City of St. Petersburg. The park is home to two freshwater lakes including Lake Rogers, for which it was named and Lake Raleigh. The lakes have faced low water levels over history, but have recently been well maintained and are usually fine. The park is protected from development and features a variety of wildlife in the area. It is a combination of open water habitat, forested upland and shoreline wetlands. There are recreational opportunities in the area and the park provides picnic tables, group campsites, a hiking trail, a canoe launching facility and access to fishing. For those looking for accommodations less rustic, there are several hotels nearby including the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites, the Emerald Greens Golf Resort and Country Club and the Residence Inn Tampa Suncoast Parkway at NorthPointe Village. Visitors to the area can enjoy dining at G Peppers, Yvonne's Café and the Ballyhoo Grill Tampa. All are a great option before or after a long hike at the park. Other attractions in the area include Busch Gardens Tampa, the Big Cat Rescue, TPC of Tampa Bay and the World of Beer.
