The lake's off-the-highway location seems to have protected it
from most of the unpleasant aspects of growth. It is a
place with oak-and-pine-shaded spots on a lake that may
be one of the finest in the country for high-quality
water recreation for all seasons. Because the area is
surrounded by Lake George, the second largest in
Florida, Lake Crescent, and the Ocala National Forest,
there is nothing for miles to threaten its clear, clean
air.
Lake Como can be the source of your recreation pleasure.
Because of the unusual cleanliness and clarity of the
water, the lake is highly desirable for swimming,
fishing, skiing, sailing, canoeing, snorkeling, and
tubing which, in Florida, can be enjoyed most of the
year. Water skiing is superb on smooth, protected
inlets. Long stretches of open water are great for
sailing. Or the less active may prefer just drifting on
an inner tube. There is no public access to the lake and
very little boat traffic. The area's water control
agency, the St. Johns River Water Management District,
has designated Lake Como as a protected body of water,
assuring its future.
Fishing Information
Lake Como, Lake Broward, Lake George, Lake Crescent, and the St.
Johns River make up an area that is known as the "Bass
Capital of the World." The fisherman has his choice of
miles and miles of shoreline, acres of grass beds,
schooling bars, and coves. Wynn Davis, who was for years
the fishing editor of “Outdoor Life” magazine,
repeatedly called the area “the best bass water in the
United States.” |
