John’s Lake

Johns Lake is located just northwest of Orlando. It is only six miles east of Clermont, Florida and 1.4 miles west of the Florida Turnpike on Highway 50. The area around the lake is developed, but there is an open shoreline on the southeast end. The ramp is capable of launching two boats at the same time with a floating dock that you can tie boats up to. You will find a small area to beach your boat on. The parking lot is well-maintained and can hold up to twenty vehicles. An overflow lot across the street will accommodate an additional ten cars.

Johns Lake is a part of the Ocklawaha River Watershed in Winter Garden, Orange County Florida. The 2,424-acre lake has two distinct water pools (East & West) with a connecting channel. There is no long boat ride to get out to the fishing spot at Johns Lake. After a few minutes of idling, you will arrive at your first spot. There are plenty of docks for fishing and plenty of undeveloped shorelines for bass fishing.
