Most of Central Florida is unaffected by flooding, however, waterfront properties around Lake Minnehaha, Lake Minneola, Lake Apopka, Lake Butler, and Lake Down should be aware that they may fall into a 100-Year Flood Zone.

Is Lake Apopka safe to swim in?

Lake Apopka is very shallow with little lakefront development. Lake Apopka also has a large population of alligators, making swimming a somewhat risky and certainly nervous endeavor.

How polluted is Lake Apopka?

At its most polluted, Lake Apopka's phosphorous levels jumped to more than 200 parts per billion. (State environmental regulators consider 55 parts per billion the maximum phosphorus load the lake can take.)
