     Starks Prairie is right by the Baptist Lake Trasil, and since you're here, you could also stop at pretty Island Lake. High temperatures at Starks Prairie throughout the warm months are in the 90's while night lows are commonly in the 70's. Daytime highs during the winter are in the 60's with winter lows in the 40's overnight here at Starks Prairie. This lake is so wonderful. Microtel Inn and Suites Lady Lake is a glorious place to get some rest, and hiking  
   along the Flatwoods Trail is glorious fun. A great close by hotel is Microtel Inns and Suites Leesburg Mt Dora, and Nelson's Fish Camp is a tremendous campground nearby.
Be careful coming to Starks Prairie, you might not ever want to return home again. The Prairie Trail offers hiking at its best. Starks Prairie sees pretty high levels of rain; the month of July is the wettest with most of the rain, and October on the other hand is the driest. Doe Lake Campground is a good local campground; you'll come across a beautiful lake called Dinners Pond.
