Cypress Lake is 4097 acres of clear water located in Osceola County, one of several lakes that make up 56 miles of the Kissimmee Waterway. All lakes are shallow, often only six feet in depth. A trip to Cypress Lake will put you in a relaxed mood even before you arrive at its lush surroundings rich in diverse wildlife. The lake serves as the wintering ground for many waterfowl, and bald eagles, red-shouldered hawks, and elegant herons create quite a show for the avid nature photographers who frequent the lake.

Airboat rides are the most popular means of exploring the Cypress Lake, and there are many boat tours that will introduce you to the lake’s diverse wildlife. Fishing on Cypress Lake is superb; you’ll find black crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill. Visitors can bring their own boat or rent one on the lake. Whether you catch something or not, you will surely enjoy a lovely day on the tranquil water with sun in your face and a cold drink in your hand.
