Cracker Lake (Florida)

Cracker Lake is a very small manmade lake inside Zolfo Springs, Florida. This lake is square and has a surface area of 1.5acre. It is contained within Cracker Lake RV Resort, which owns it. The resort was established in 1988 and the lake was dug at this time. It is surrounded on all but the west side by streets within the resort. Mobile homes and RVs line the streets on the lake's east and south sides. Two administrative buildings are on the north shore. On the west side are four shuffleboard courts, also part of Cracker Lake RV Resort. Cracker Trail runs along the east shore of the lake.There is no public access to Cracker Lake and no boating or swimming are allowed. However, this lake can be fished, although it is very small. Hardee County has very few lakes and they are all small, some as tiny as this one. Therefore, any lake in this county has some notability in the area. This lake is not to be confused with another Cracker Lake, which is basically a bog used for mud sporting just off Highway 64 on the west side of Hardee county.
