Default Who actually owns

Lake Sumter?

The County?
The Villages?
The Morse Family?

Is it considered a "Navigable Waterway" for Coast Guard authority ?

Is there any law enforcement on the Lake?

THAT is a very good question. I always point out to our guests just visiting here that we have a lighthouse that guides all Ocean Going Ships.


We are so lucky.

I believe Lake Sumter Landing is just a name created by The Villages. Isn't it actually "Cherry Lake"?

It isn't navigable and isn't directly connected to a navigable body of water. It is also entirely inside a single state. Coast Guard would have jurisdiction for pollution ("waters of the United States") but not for boating enforcement. No. they don't have a boat or cutter assigned to Lake Sumter (or whatever the heck it really is).

Lake Sumter is a retention pond - there is only two lakes in the villages, Lake Miona and one other that I can't remember

I'm voting for Coast Guard have nothing at all to do with it and EPA being the govt agency having an interest in pollution.

Default Lake Sumter

I swear I heard a rumor that her majesty Queen Elizabeth was sailing in on the QE2 and she would run the CDD NORTH of 466. She was going to buy it from the IRS and the POA.

And that the Royal Navy with Prince Harry was going to head up the CDD south of 466.

And Taylor Swift was going to run the area south of 466A where all the YOUNG people live.

Lake Sumter or what ever you call it was a cow pasture. When they dug it to fill it they used the water from from Miona. But then they really got in trouble. When will people realize every thing here is fake. ( Fantasy land)
