Orange Lake, Florida - James Stephens - Bog

This is the history and description of Orange Lake, the ninth-largest lake in Florida and one that spans the Alachua County and Marion County boundary. Attracting fishermen, boaters, and bird-watchers for decades, the lake is also well known for being one of the very few that has floating islands, large masses of vegetation that attract animals as the islands float across the lake, driven by strong winds. This illustrated book tells the history of the lake and has a series of chapters at the end that describe particular features of the lake, for example alligators, vegetation, and airboating.
