Tavares Station on Lake Dora offers many Lake Front Activities

Water Skiing, Jet Skiing and Boating are Popular Lake Front Activities in Central Florida

Florida lakes are publicly owned and regulated by the State's Water Authorities.In most cases, access is available to all  Florida lakes unless private parties own all the land surrounding the lake and there is no inlet to the lake from any outside public waterway.  For this reason, water skiing, fishing and boating are popular lake front activities in Florida, though water skiing can be regulated by boat motor restrictions enacted by water authorities in some lakes.  It is best to keep water skiing activities to the larger public waterways to avoid causing wake damage or risk being involved with an irate fisherman or shoreline property owner. Public ramps are numerous allowing for other popular lake front activities such as Motor Boat Cruising and fishing to be enjoyed by everyone. Many of the Central Florida lakes, like the Harris Chain of Lakes,have numerous waterfront restaurants and miles of cruising waters. The Chain is also known for outstanding bass and crappie fishing.
