In the "olden days" we would have had our large state "paper" maps for the trip.

However, I still can't find the depth of the lake. Probably read right over it. I did read that it had a boat launch area......for trailered boats......

p.s. Hubby was impressed with the frequency of "ocean fishing trips" for the VILLAGES deep sea fishing club. They have quite a nice website here. His boat is o.k. on a big lake but more for ocean going.
Senior: Average depth of Lake Weir is 6 ft. This is not unusual for lakes in Florida as most of the lakes are shallow in nature. Another more important "thing" about Florida lakes----They are full of alligators! Not to alarm you or others but if you live on a lake in Florida you better have a keen awareness of the gators who often may sun at the edge of the lake and your yard and sometimes make their way up to your back door. On the positive side, the sunsets over a lake are very beautiful.
