Our Mission Our mission is to support Lake Griffin State Park by raising money for unfunded park projects, and by raising awareness of what the park has to offer. We volunteer our time and talents to host tours and help with special events. | Our Programs The Friends buy and donate to the park recreational equipment such as exercise fitness stations and kayaks. We also pay for tools, materials, and vehicles needed by the park that their budget does not cover. One of the park's most popular activities is paddling kayaks. Fourteen FLGSP members are park volunteers who lead both daytime and evening kayak eco-tours and teach Kayak 101 classes. Visitors register and pay for these tours on our web site, which allows park staff to focus their time on caring for the park's other visitors and resources. We hope you'll join us for an enjoyable and educational experience on the water! | Membership We invite you to become a Friend of the park and help us support the wonderful resources of Lake Griffin State Park. Help us maintain and improve the conservation of Florida's resources and provide a natural environment of learning and pleasure for families, school children, groups, and naturalists for years to come. |
