Hampton Lake

Bradford County, Florida

Hampton Lake is in Hampton, Florida, under 70 miles from Jacksonville.

Named for Captain Richard Bradford, who fought in the American Civil War, this county has a population of around 27,000.

The closest major airport is Jacksonville International and is just over an hour away. Urgent care can be provided at Shands Starke Regional Medical Center, 14 minutes away.

Stock up on snacks and groceries at Walmart Supercenter, 11 minutes from the lake. Locals recommend restaurants such as Classic Cafe, Cedar River Seafood, Starke, Sonny’s BBQ, and Call Street Cafe.

Endless Opportunities

At 850 acres, it's nearly impossible to run out of things to do on Hampton Lake. Anglers can expect to find bluegill, largemouth bass, and blue catfish.

Residents can use the public boat ramp or swim in the cool, spring-fed waters on hot summer days.

Entertainment Options

Those with a taste of adventure should visit The Canyons Zip Line & Canopy Tours. Explore a beautiful but lesser-known part of Florida either through the air or on the back of a horse.

Single Vision Sanctuary features well-cared-for exotic animals with plenty of room in their respective enclosures.

Explore Nature

Reconnect with the great outdoors at either Ichetucknee Springs State Park or Devil’s Den Prehistoric Spring. Ichetuknee features a tram, a temperate spring, and a blue hole. Devil’s Den offers snorkeling and scuba diving.

Excellent Location for Lake Life

Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or waterfront property, Hampton Lake is an excellent choice.
