One of a kind Florida freshwater Island property! Lake Griffin is the 8th largest lake in Florida and is approximately seven miles long. Lake Griffin is the only Harris Chain fishery with controllable water levels because of a lock on Haines Creek with two access points that opened into the Esmeralda Marsh. It's the least developed lake along the Harris chain of lakes that have boater friendly fun. These chain of Lakes have many points of access, restaurants, parks for play and splashing, sea plane adventures and beautiful nature. These chain of lakes include: Lake Harris, Eustis, Dora, Beauclaire and Lake Griffin. Lake Griffin boasts wonderful fishing. There are two locks which control the water levels of the lake. A public boat ramp is accessible on 441 at the south end of the lake at Herlong Park.
