Lake Ned Sunrise, Winter Haven, New Years Day, January 1, 2012

It was too irresistible to not catch the first sunrise of the new year, so I journeyed to Lake Ned on Cypress Gardens Rd in Winter Haven.

Address: 231 Lake Ned Road, Cypress Gardens, Florida

I arrived at sunrise 7:18 am and was not disappointed at the view awaiting me.

 

During my 45 minutes at Lake Ned, I observed Ibis

Sandhill Cranes flying overhead with their unique, beautiful trumpeting

Lake Ned has a nice setting for family picnics, BBQ's and children's recreation

If you enjoy birdlife, sunrises and sunsets or just sitting with your Honey, 

Lake Ned is a nice serene location to migrate to.

If you like to recreate on the water, Lake Ned has a boat ramp at this location.

There's an activity for all ages at Lake Ned. 

Lake Ned seems a suitable place for all creatures and not only humans. 

There is sufficient green space for children AND dogs to play and roam

then afterwards, benches provide a nice place to sit, meditate and soak up the Polk County sun :)

Thanks for visiting & welcome

Thanks for finding this site and for being a visitor. I hope you return many times. I am a transplant to Polk County (Winter Haven) Florida from the Pacific NW and love exploring all the magnificent parks and trails. My desire is to offer other outdoor enthusiasts or newcomers to the area a glimpse of all that can be enjoyed here.

Keep in mind all comments, perspectives and photos are my own and my experiences are interpreted through my many filters of love for and recreating in the outdoors. I’ve kayaked and fished in the Canadian Pacific, swam and fished in the Canadian Maritimes cold Atlantic, hiked many trails in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, trekked in the Himalayas and have seen, walked or jogged in many locations in the US states of New England, the Pacific Northwest and on my drive from Idaho to Florida.

It takes time to explore all the parks in Polk County and I’m excited about my adventure of discovery! I encourage you to set a goal for yourself in your own discovery of Polks Parks; blog about it (like I do);  to share your experiences and findings online via social media or join a group and explore with them. 

Locally, you  may enjoy the  Florida Trail Association and their local chapter, the Heartland Chapter. Here is their FB page as well. If you like hands-on participation and contributing to your community, this is the Association to join. 

If you like walking with others and want to explore Winter Haven and surrounding area's parks
 and trails, you may enjoy Winter Haven Wellness Walking Club. WHWWCLUB is an American
Heart Association Walking Club that coordinates local walks to improve the heart health and overall wellness of residents and visitors of Winter Haven, FL and surrounding area. Visit the Facebook page for details and photos and follow on Twitter

When hiking/walking any trail in Polk County, you will see me with walking poles. To be exact: Nordic Walking Poles as they bump up the calorie output of my activity, tone my core and upper body and provide my ankles and feet with stability. If you would be interested in exploring the benefits and have a hands-on experience, contact me:
