Jarvis Creek Park is a 53-acre town park built around Lake Liggett — a 1.1-mile paved loop circles the water, passing a catch-and-release fishing pier, a floating dock, picnic shelters, a playground and a fitness trail through the pines. Alligators cruise the lake, egrets work the shallows, and one enormous live oak shades the shore. The Oyster Alley Boardwalk at Honey Horn looks across the creek toward this shore.

  • The fishing pier is catch-and-release and the lake is stocked — the signs ask anglers to help keep it that way.
  • The great oak on the loop anchors a dozen of these frames; the alligators anchor the rest.
