Jim,
I am not sure how many acres the lake is but it is a perfect ski lake. One of the many activities we enjoy.
About the heavy green foliage. All of the land in this part of Central Florida was up until 17 or so years ago citrus groves. At that time we had back to back devastating freezes that wiped out the citrus industry in our area. As a matter of fact our property use to belong to the Libby Fruit Company and was planted in grapefruits.
The bright green foliage you see is a 7 acre grapefruit grove. The other green piece is planted in pine trees, which many grove owners did after the freezes to maintain their agricultural exemption.
There are still a number of small groves around us, some planted in oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit. The wife and I love to saddle up the horses with saddle bags and ride through the groves picking fruit along the way.
This photo was taken last May-ish, the lake was at an all time low. Normally the dark brown area around the lake would be covered in water.
Probably more than you wanted to know,
Mike
