Lake Griffin

Review & FAQ:

Lake Griffin spreads over 9,500 acres and is the headwaters of the Ocklawaha River. This shallow and long lake is located at the end of the Harris Chain of Lakes. The whole chain has heavy boating traffic, and anything can be seen on its waters, from kayaks and canoes to power boats pulling skiers and pontoon boats. A big part of the lake’s shore remained natural, providing an opportunity for boaters to see local wildlife. There are two marinas on the lake, along with slip space, fishing supplies, and fishing necessities and a number of boat launch ramps. Fish camps dot the shoreline and are frequented by boaters and nature photographers who come to the lake to observe wildlife. The Lake Griffin State Park and Recreation Area has a small campground with lovely shade under live oaks. There is also a number of hiking trails in the park. Fishing is one of the most popular activities, with largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and sunfish as the main catches. Map
