Richard Irvin Park in Tarpon Springs-Florida - Peaceful View

While driving on Keystone Road towards to Tarpon Springs, we spotted a sign for Richard Irvin Park. We had to wind our way down to it but it was worth it. Now I have to tell you that I have lived in this area for 28 years. This was the first time I spotted that sign and visited this park. (Usually the traffic is zipping along so no time to look).

There’s not much there-a parking lot, a couple of picnic tables, an old boat launch area that looked like it was closed off that day: But the view was awesome.

Those are coots floating around in the marshy area.

Lucky folks who live next door. This is the extreme north end of Lake Tarpon.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find out who Richard Irvin is/was so I don't know the history of the park. If anyone knows, please email me with the info and I will update the post.
