About

Big Redfish Lake lies east of Draper Lake in the Blue Mountain area and covers about 31 acres. Houses and conservation interests share the basin. It is a coastal dune lake whose story is as much about a community living on the shore as it is about the water itself.

East of here the chain steps into the Grayton Beach landscape and the lakes get a different kind of public edge. Big Redfish is still on the Blue Mountain side of that change.

Public access

No state park is named for this lake here. The shore is a neighborhood as well as a conservation concern. This page does not list a public ramp. Do not treat private docks as access.

Access rules, park fees, and reservation systems change. This page is a summary for orientation, not a permit or a promise that a shore is open.
