TOO MANY FLORIDA LAKES TO COUNT





Some of Marion County’s lakes are large enough for competition water skiing and some are small enough to traverse in an inflatable raft. Enjoy your picnic on a tree shaded shoreline, let the kids splash in the shallows or toss out a line with a bright orange bobber. This is natural Florida at its best.
