The Lake George State Forest is a designated protected area and state forest in the U.S. state of Florida. The 21,176-acre (8,570 ha) forest is located in northwestern Volusia County, Florida, near Lake George and the communities of Pierson, Barberville, and Volusia. It is overseen by the Florida Forest Service within the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.[1]
Lake George State Forest is divided into three tracts of land. The northernmost Astor Tract stretches roughly from a point between Pierson and Lake George south to State Road 40 east of the Volusia settlement. South of SR 40 are the Mary Farms and Dexter Tracts, which encompasses land between the St. Johns River to the west, and Barberville, US 17, and De Leon Springs State Park to the east, and south to the banks of Lake Dexter, Spring Garden Creek, and the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge.[1]
Lake George State Forest should not be confused with the Lake George Forest, a separate 7,858-acre (3,180 ha) property to the immediate north which is jointly owned by Volusia County and the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD),[2] or the Lake George Conservation Area, a 11,973-acre (4,845 ha) site owned by the SJRWMD.[3]
