Kingsley Lake (a.k.a. Strickland's Landing), located in Starke, Fl. is a place that I'll never forget. My family and I lived in Jacksonville Fl, and spent alot of time at this lake! It was fabulous! So clear and cool and definitely FUN! Our close friends, the Christophers, would go too. We always had a blast! I was very young, but I still remember! Such great memories. I learned how to swim in this lake. There were big and little slides, diving boards, piers, pavilions, and much more! I went back to visit in the early 80's and learned how to ski there too! It's not open to the public anymore which is a shame! But there are many families who now live by the lake or rent their lake homes ( I know someone who rents, if you are interested). One year we rented a cabin the same week the Christophers did. Some great fun we had too! I remember me and Timmy chasing minnows up and down the shore. I also remember always wanting to get Sugar Daddy candybars. I hope to go back and visit Kingsley Lake soon! I have many childhood memories, but this lake and it's many visits and memories are some of the most special to me. I have a few pictures placed above! The campgrounds were gorgeous! I imagine they still are!
