Wall Doxey

This place is nice and usually pretty quiet - i have seen groups doing training with canoes and the like (Scouts, likely). One of my daughters caught her first fish here, so it will always have a place in my memories. Ice heard others complain that they never catch there but I do regularly. Cool place.

Deep in the shadowy woods of Wall Doxey State Park, when the fog hangs low over Spring Lake and the cypress trees whisper with the wind, old-timers warn of a creature that slinks just beneath the water’s surface — the Half Man, Half Turtle. The story goes back to the 1940s, when a reclusive biologist named Dr. Elbert Crane lived in a cabin on the lake. Obsessed with longevity, he studied turtles for years, convinced they held the secret to eternal life. Locals said he conducted strange experiments — injecting himself with turtle serum, muttering about “shedding the limits of man.” One stormy night, Crane vanished. The cabin was torn apart, claw marks gouged into the walls, and the dock was splintered like something massive had dragged itself into the water. They never found his body. But soon, campers began reporting eerie sightings: a hunched figure with leathery green skin crawling out of the lake, webbed hands dragging behind it, a shell fused to its back. Its eyes glowed like fireflies in the dark. They say the creature still roams the park on misty nights, stalking the shoreline, searching for something — or someone — to pull back into the water. And if you’re quiet enough, you might hear its slow, wet crawl behind you. Locals call it The Shell Walker. But most just say: don’t stay past sundown at Wall Doxey.

Really enjoy Wall Doxey! Had a great trip with our Cub Scout pack. Nice campsites, and a great hiking trail around the lake!

Very peaceful and quiet. But the roads that are in the camping area are in very bad condition . Roads have buckled. I was told that the tree roots were growing up and making the roads rough, but from what i saw (I'm not an asphalt person) but from what i saw, there were no tree roots even around the places that were bad. But if you are looking for a camping spot for a good price, yes, stop in or book a spot. But it's definitely not a destination campground. A word of caution is that the water pressure here is 100 psi ! !

Beautiful state park! I liked the multiple wood docks leading out on the lake. They’re nice for fishing, or just enjoying the view. The park was clean, and well kept. The disc golf courses were fun, and challenging; although some holes were a bit overgrown. The variety of waterfowl and birds was impressive. This is a nice park to see and explore in a day. The picnic area was quite nice. The camping also looked wonderful here.
