Lake Sumter is privately owned and I believe most of the other lakes are as well. Some organizations like the kayak club and the dragon boat club can get permission to use some of the lakes for their activities.

Lake Miona/Black Lake belongs to Sumter County and there is a boat launch and picnic area a short drive outside The Villages.

There is also Lake Griffin State Park which is less than 10 minutes away and has a launch and picnic area. We go kayaking there.
