Chain of Lakes and Palatlakaha River
The Clermont Chain of Lakes is a group of 11 interconnected lakes in Lake County, Florida, known for their recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. These lakes are connected by the Palatlakaha River and offer a variety of activities, including fishing, boating and waterskiing. The Chain of Lakes is a 8,960-acre waterway which spans portions of Clermont and Groveland with a average depth of 7 feet up to 18 feet.
During the 19th century, as pioneers began to settle in Central Florida, the Clermont Chain of Lakes became a focal point for economic development and recreational activities.
In early 2001, a severe drought dropped the lake levels significantly. During this time, 2 pre-historic dugout canoes were found. Later that year two fisherman reported an object protruding out of the lake and it appeared to be a airplane tail rudder. An investigation revealed that it was a missing P-51 Mustang, flown by lt. Dean R. Gilmore of Pennsylvania. It was lost on a training flight out of Pensacola November 14, 1944. A memorial was erected and placed on the beach at Lake Louisa State Park
