My buddy and I are from right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We flew into Orlando for a quick fishing trip, and we rented a boat and fished here on a Friday and a Saturday (January 19th and 20th). They only have 4 boats that are allowed on the lake, only rent them Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and only rent them from 7am to 11 am. The lake is not pressured at all, and we had lots of luck (I'll keep what we used and what spots we fished a secret). The 2 guys working the boat rental dock were super nice and very helpful. The scenery was beautiful, and the wildlife was plentiful. There are otters in the lake, and they were super fun to watch. They also have gators, but we didn't see them. Also, plenty of bird species call the lake home or use it as a stop on their migrations, so if you are into birds or wildlife in general, you will not be disappointed. We were both pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was that we met here, and can't wait to get back to do some more fishing. We didn't visit the other parts of the park, but the lake, boats and people were all fantastic. If you want to fish in Orlando, this is a must try lake. Good luck, and tight lines!!
