June in Lakeland is the month the early mornings are the good ones and the spring water is the thing that makes the trip work, and the guide is the one that makes the month work.
The air is in the 80s by 9 a.m., which means the early morning is the version of the morning that does not require a plan. A boat on the water before the heat, a coffee at Black & Brew before the line, and a loaf from Born & Bread before the oven is empty. That is the early morning, and it is the one that makes the June trip work.
The spring-fed creeks in Bonnet Springs Park are the version of a June afternoon that does not require a pool. A 168-acre urban nature park with live oak trails, a spring-fed creek you can cool off in on a Florida afternoon, and a 2,500-foot canopy trail up in the treetops. Free to walk any day, and in June it is the version of a day that does not require a crowd.
June is the middle of the Polk County golf off-season, and the tee sheets are the ones that are empty. The Club at Eaglebrooke is the one to play, and the move is to book the tee time for the first day of the week. The off-season rates are the ones that are still available, and the off-season tee times are the ones that do not require a waiting list.
The local tip: the June weeks are the off-season weeks, and the off-season weeks are the ones that have the best rate for the same weather. Book the dock house first and the week will take care of itself.
Send us your dates and whether you want a dock. We manage seven houses on and around Lake Lakeland and we will match you to the one that is the right distance from the water and the right size for your group.
