Where is Deer Lake?

The western side of Deer Lake is bordered by houses and Deer Lake Road. On all other sides, the lake is surrounded by large fields of citrus groves. These groves are where fruits like oranges and grapefruits are grown.

Access to the Lake

Because Deer Lake is completely surrounded by private property, there is no public access. This means people cannot easily visit the lake for activities like fishing or boating.
