Lake Eustis

Lake Eustis

Lake Eustis is located in Central Florida, west of the city of Eustis. It covers approximately 7,000 acres (28 km²). It is spring feed and is a member of a chain of lakes, and is connected to Lake Harris by means of the Dead River. It is also connected to the St. Johns River, which flows north to Jacksonville and the Atlantic Ocean.

Other communities along the shores of Lake Eustis include Grand Island to the north, Haynes Creek to the northwest and Tavares on the southeastern shore.

Eustis Lake Walk built over and connected to the eastern shores of Lake Eustis affords sunset views and 20 boat slips and 4 gazebos amid shore front lake waters.

Sailing and fishing are some of the activities available at the lake.

For a historical look at Lake County waters, this was written in the 1930's:

amid the slopes and waters of beautiful Lake County, are Leesburg, Eustis, Tavares, and Mount Dora, all possessed of excellent tourist accommodations and such natural and man-made beauty, combined with all sorts of sport advantages, that the sport-loving visitor is thrilled.
Bass fishing surpasses anything you have ever known in that line. Citrus fruits and other products abound. Golf courses are found in every community. As an all-year resort section, this is hard to equal.
