Lake George

On the St. Johns River in the U.S. state of Florida, there is a large, shallow brackish lake known as Lake George or Lake Welaka. At Rocky Point on the lake's northern edge, the St. Johns River exits the body of water. Salt Cove, which draws its flow from Salt Creek, is located to the west of this. Lisk Point, named for Dr. Lisk who constructed a home nearby, is located just south of Salt Cove. Steamboats from Jacksonville that were traveling down the lake performed a counterclockwise circle around the lake, stopping at Lisk Point first.

The second-largest freshwater lake in Florida, Lake George, is distinguished from other streams in the area by its brackish water. Additionally, it makes Lake George the ideal location for catching fish like bass and crappie. A little-known fact: There are several circular pilings in the lake's middle that were formerly targeted for a bombing range. This area is ideal for reeling in crappie because a ship sank there. A tenth the size of Lake Okeechobee, Lake George has an area of around 46,000 acres. The Ocala National Forest officially includes the western shoreline.
