Picture Perfect: Krul Lake Is Refilled And Open
May 22, 2021
Krul Lake in the Blackwater State Forest is now refilled and in pristine condition.
The lake was drained for repairs to the drain pipe system and retaining wall, as well as upgrades and basic maintenance. The process to refill the lake started last week.
Krul Lake is filled from springs located on the north end of the lake and is popular summer swimming area. The Krul Recreation area, located about a half mile east of Munson (click for map), also features restrooms and showers, hiking trails, a gristmill, a suspension bridge over Sweetwater Creek, and a picnic area.
Pictured above and below: Krul Lake this week. Pictured bottom two photos: Krul Lake while drained earlier this year. Photos for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.

Miss you not being there with your FOOFOO Dog with ribbons in it it’s hair and a pink tutu on
I’ve always heard rumors of alligators in/near Krul Lake. Does anyone know if those rumors are true?
Basically grew up there. Every spring break, fall break our family camped, swam and picniced during the 60’s and 70’s. Knew the Von Axleson family who was the ranger over the park at the time.Got lost on the way to Bear Lake and Redrock when I was eleven and the whole town looking for me and my brother, Jeff. Great memories.
Looks nice so I pulled up camping websites. First thing I saw was NO PETS allowed at their campground. So won’t be goin there. Most campers have dogs ours only weighs 5 lbs. oh well.
It’s my understanding that the locals still call it Munson Pool. It’s a little piece of Heaven on earth.
One of my most favorite places to swim, cook, walk the trails and just hang out with family & friends. We always called it Munson Beach. It still looks as beautiful as ever!
maybe they found my necklace I lost there 17 years ago. .800 dollar chain down the drain.
i remember it as munson pool
Beautiful and filled up quickly.
Will it be stocked with fish?
..how beautiful..I have taken my kids camping there since 1966..The forest personel do such a great job there as well as Bear and Hurricane lakes..Thanks to the State of Florida and am the employees that give us such a great escape from the Hassell and stress of Pensacola , Pace and Milton..3 days of camping over there, and it’s hard to pack up and come home…
Brings back fond memories growing up. I remember when it was called Munson Dam.
