Answering, what is the best lake in Florida is fairly easy. However, if what is the best lake in Florida is to truly be discovered we need to determine the criteria. What do most people want in a lake, nearby the lake, and qualities in the lake?
Windermere FL is named after a town which in turn was named after the best lake in the United Kingdom. A major part of what makes this city so special is all of the lakes which surround it. The town motto is "Among the Lakes".
As with anything size matters. Lake size is important especially if you are interested in water sports, privacy and beautiful views. Another important part of lake size is not getting bored with the lakes' scenery. For this reason we believe Lake Butler in Windermere FL is the best lake in Florida. Not only is the lake large enough but it is interconnected via canals to 12 other lakes which combine into what is called the Butler Chain of Lakes. Some of the most expensive homes and communities are found along its' shores.
Another part of answer to "what is the best lake in Florida" is access to it. There are two boat launches which are public launches. The best is in RD Keene Park and costs just $5 to use (includes parking). Most of the access pointes to the Butler Chain of Lakes are private which certainly keeps the boat traffic down.
Water quality? Yes the best lake in Florida should definitely be spring fed. Lake Butler is not only spring fed but the lakes surrounding it help it maintain 121 foot above sea level which protects the homes around it. There is just no reason to not fall in love with this lake. Oh yes, it is clear and certainly has fish in it.
