Lake Henry is a small, spring-fed lake in Lake Placid, Florida, named for a local resident, Henry, who once lived nearby. The lake is ringed by a mix of cypress trees and grassy banks, offering a secluded spot for a quiet afternoon. Visitors can fish from the shore for bass and sunfish, or simply enjoy a picnic under the shade of the trees. Its modest size and calm waters make it a favorite among locals seeking a low-key outdoor experience away from crowds.
Don't miss
- Cast a line from the grassy bank for largemouth bass and redear sunfish.
- Enjoy a picnic at one of the shaded spots along the water's edge.
- Watch for wood ducks and anhinga that frequent the lake's quiet coves.
