Overview

West of Orlando in the town of Clermont lies eleven beautiful lakes known as the Clermont Chain that total 8,692 acres.

Further north and technically located in the town of Groveland, Lake Lucy (346 acres) and Lake Emma (173 acres) are also part of this chain. These tea-colored, spring fed lakes are surrounded by rolling hills, on which local residents find make a great perch for viewing Florida’s stunning sunsets.

Fishing and Water Sports

The Clermont chain of lakes is one of Florida’s most recreational polished lake systems. Fishers will find channel catfish and speckled perch to be quite plentiful. Sunken trees and dredge holes in the lakes make great fishing attractors, providing what some claim to be “some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the world.” These attractors are marked on most lakes by buoys, which should help to foster a pleasant experience even for the novice fisherman.

For the water sports enthusiast, the Clermont lakes are the place to be. Throughout the water-skiing community, Clermont is known as the “wakeboarding capital of the world”. The Wakeboarding Camp, a year-round school devoted entirely to the instruction of wakeboarding, is located on Lake Minneola.
