The Kiwanis Club has a nice quiet beach on Lake Weir that is open to the public. The water in the swimming area is too open and visible for an alligator to hang out in. Take 42 East to Weirsdale, then North on county road 25 and look for the signs on the left.
Also, the lock on Haines creek between Lake Griffin and Lake Eustis was operational two weeks ago when I went through with my boat. And the Dora Canal to Lake Dora and the Dead River into Lake Harris are open. But the lock into Lake Apopka is closed.
Going north on the Ocklawaha river above Silver Springs by powerboat is not practical right now to low water levels. Friends of mine got through recently but they brought chain saws.
