The lake is home to several Florida Softshell Turtles. Did you know the Florida Softshell Turtle is the largest softshell turtle in North America? I counted three of them in the short time I was there. Most of the turtles congregate toward the far right corner of the lake if you are standing at the plaza. You can find them in abundance alongside the walkway that stretches over the lake. Just look over the rail and you will see dozens of turtles swimming about.
