In the center of Lake County, Astatula is under an hour to the northeast of Orlando. If it weren't for Lake Apoka, the ride would be shorter, but then you would miss out on the clear water and fishing. We'd rather have the lake and so would the 2,000 people who call this town home.

The lake itself is being restored to a natural and healthy condition after decades of being used as a run off for farm lands nearby. The people here would rather have their lake be healthy and clear again, and that's something we can certainly understand. An ape's got to have someplace to dip his big hairy toes.
