There are also many top noch boat ramps from which you can enjoy all of the great resturaunts, Marinas, hotels, camping, and adventure daytrips that surround the Chain of lakes.
ith more than 1,000 lakes and rivers, there’s no surprise how Lake County got its name. This Central Florida county is not only
home to hundreds of waterways, but the quality of freshwater fishing and boating amenities are some of the best in the region.
From Hickory Point Recreational Facility, a park that features 12 boat ramps with access to the eight-lake Harris Chain, to
the tranquil and picturesque water trails, which offers canoeists and kayakers plenty of outdoor adventures, Lake County is the
closest thing in the state to a freshwater boater’s paradise.
Largemouth bass and crappie are found in almost every body of water in the area. In fact, nationally televised fishing tournaments come to Lake County each year. With hundreds of lakes brimming with prize catches, anglers sometimes face a tough
decision about where to cast a line.
