Isn't it easy to spend someone else's money? :) Some of these ideas call for a lot more than the OP is considering, I believe. He wants to keep it more simple.
For the lake environment - although you didn't say how large this lake is but you did mention perhaps a walking path around it so it's probably on the small side - I'd gear the park for its quiet nature aspects.... walking paths perhaps wide and suitable enough for biking and canoeing/kayaking/small sailboats. Eliminate the ski boat idea if this lake is small. It doesn't mix well with non-motorized boats. For fishing you might also stress electric motors to keep the lake quiet.
A nice clubhouse with an well-equipped exercise room and pool would be all you'd need. These can provide activities such as crafting, socials, games, movie night, exercise classes, perhaps a dance floor if you want to bring in music at times. A nice enclosed dog exercise area with grass, a tree or two and chairs for sitting would be welcomed along with fresh water access. Perhaps keeping a pet portable pool in it would be fun for the pups.
You didn't mention where in Florida this land is but if it's in a quiet spot you probably should gear it toward winter visitors rather than summer families. In that environment (water/trees) in summer in Florida it will probably draw bugs; hence, less visitors.
Good luck!
