Town squares and question about Lake Sumter
I look at the town square cams frequently. Spanish Springs seems to have more activity than Lake Sumter. Is that correct?
Also, how deep is Lake Sumter? |

thWhat you're seeing can be more perception than reality because of the positioning of the cams. You'll notice at SS that you can see a broader view that within includes people that are coming or going, the vehicular traffic that flows about the square as well as vehicles parked. At LSL it's pretty much the center of the square and not much more.

lake Sumter is very shallow. I do not know the exact depth, but have heard one could walk across any part of it anytime during high or low levels.
Lake Miona I have heard is no more than 8 feet deep in the middle. All the above is third+ hand. btk |

Just perception but I believe that there is more activity at LSL - more stores, restaurants, and people. The new Paneras at LSL is always busy.

On the Lake Sumter boat tours, they tell you that Lake Sumter is spring-fed and is about 12 feet at the deepest point.
There are lots of bass in the lake but it is private lake and fishing is prohibited. Also some very nice sized alligators in the lake. Always a shame to see people feeding the gators. That stupid practice basically signs a death warrant for the gator since it will associate people with food and someone will report a mean gator when it crawls on a back yard looking for food. |

Lake
About a month ago we took the Lifestyle package and was told that the lake was 8 feet deep.

And, this doesn't include Rolling Acres Plaza adjacent to La Plaza Grande and the other plaza adjacent to Rolling Acres to the South. My take is that the contiguous SS shopping area has maybe three or four times the retail establishments as LSL. http://www.thevillages.com/lifestyle...gdiningmap.asp .

I would guess that LSL has more activity IN THE SQUARE than SS and the median age would be lower than SS. Also, I have looked many times and never seen a gator in Lake Sumter near LSL - not saying it doesn't happen every day, just that I haven't ever seen one. .

We go to both squares and it depends on who the entertainment is as to how crowded the square is. Generally, we find SS more crowded but I think that is based on perception. The dance area is smaller at SS so it appears more populated. LSL has a larger dance area so....well, you get my drift.

I think the regulars at SS square are older than the regulars at LSL. That has been my observation when going to either square. It makes sense since SS is the older, more established square. I think there are usually more people dancing at SS though. I dunno. |

Spanish Springs also draws from a more populated area along 441/27, and Brownwood will draw from an even larger population in Wildwood/Leesburg and all points in between along 44.
