Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake

Open daily 8 a.m.-7 p.m. April-October and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. November-March; closed December 24 and 25. The seasonal pool is currently closed until further notice; boats, disc golf, camping, and offices differ.

Pay at the park entrance and follow internal signs to the lake, playgrounds, disc golf, cabins, farm, or reserved pavilion; the 183-acre park is not one compact lot.

Choose the fishing pier/boathouse, playground and seasonal pool, disc-golf course, campground, or farm before entering.

Restrooms serve developed recreation, pavilion, pool, and campground areas. Remote trails and disc-golf sections have fewer facilities.

Daily entry is $5 per car, $2 driver-only, or $1 per bus/large-van passenger. Cabins, camping, shelters, boats, and programs cost extra.

Developed parking, restrooms, paved paths, shelters, and selected recreation areas are accessible; trails, lake edges, and disc golf vary.

Leashed pets are allowed in designated areas and camping under posted rules; keep them out of pool, playground, farm, and restricted facilities.

Playgrounds, farm animals, fishing, seasonal pool, trails, camping, and lake views can fill a day. Confirm pool and boat operations before promising either.

Direct transit is limited; driving or rideshare is the practical approach, but arrange pickup because internal distances are substantial.

Swimming is only in the seasonal pool, not Turkey Lake. Check heat, lightning, insects, disc-golf event closures, pool status, fishing rules, and campground terms.

Check heat index, lightning, thunderstorms, hurricane or storm closures, shade, drinking water, mosquitoes, and operator alerts. Leave exposed fields, water, boats, and playgrounds immediately for thunder.
