Question: Which is Florida’s largest freshwater lake?
Answer: Lake Okeechobee
Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in Florida, and the eighth-largest natural freshwater lake in the U.S. It is the second-largest natural freshwater lake contained entirely within the contiguous 48 states, after Lake Michigan. Lake Okeechobee is a unique system that drains into both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf. Through the man-made Okeechobee Waterway, comprised of the Caloosahatchee River to the west and the St. Lucie River to the east, water from the lake flows to both coasts.
