Watersports

In Central Florida's Lakes District, the call of the water is too strong to deny. With 554 lakes, year-round warm weather and sunshine, there are abundant opportunities for getting out on the water. Go boating and water-skiing, or take an exhilarating airboat ride and zoom across the shallows past alligators, turtles and other native wildlife.
