Lake Miccosukee forms the northern border between Jefferson and Leon County. It is considered as a scenic lake covered with aquatic plants and offers hunters a great place to duck hunt. It is the home to the endangered plant Miccosukee Gooseberry (Ribes echinellum).
This lake can be accessed by three landings, two that are county maintained. The US 90 landing offers a wheelchair accessible fishing pier. The Letchworth Mounds State Park is located less than a mile west of the lake off of Sunray Road South. The tallest native american ceremonial mound (46 feet tall) in Florida which was built 1100 to 1800 years ago can be seen at this site. This park offers picnic tables, wildlife viewing, and nature trails that are wheelchair accessible.
