Lake Hartley is a 76-acre lake in Ocoee, part of the West Orange Chain of Lakes. It features a public boat ramp and a small park with picnic tables. The lake is a favorite for freshwater fishing, particularly for crappie and sunfish. Paddlers enjoy the calm waters, and the surrounding residential area keeps the lake relatively quiet. Wildlife includes alligators, turtles, and a variety of waterfowl.

Don't miss

  • Launch a boat or kayak from the free public ramp on Hartley Lake Drive
  • Fish for crappie, bluegill, and catfish from the bank or a boat
  • Picnic at the small lakeside park with shaded tables
