Lake Walk-In-Water (Weohyakapka) is one of the best-kept fishing secrets in central Florida. This shallow lake (only 12 feet in depth at its maximum), the largest in Polk County, is known by residents and serious anglers as the home of trophy-size bass, as well as other fish such as schools of speckled perch. The fishing is so good because the water quality is rated “excellent” by the Water Resources Department, and also because the quiet, out-of-the-way lake is rarely used by waterskiers.
Walden Shores boasts its own boat ramp and fishing pier, so for residents there is no trouble or expense taking to the waters for a leisurely cruise or some serious angling.
