Draper Lake

Rare world-wide, Draper Lake is one of 15 naturally-occurring coastal dune lakes that dot the Gulf Coast of Walton County. Their intermittent connection with the Gulf creates both fresh water and brackish environments, enriching diversity among local plant and animal species.

A canoe launch, picnic pavilion and observation tower will entice ownders and their guests to experience this varied coastal landscape first hand. Paddle the calm water, fish from the dock or observe winged wild life from a comfortable perch.
