My Park Lake                                                       Park Lake Townhouses, Maitland, Florida

Winter Park Chain (2,781 acres): This chain is located in downtown Winter Park. Lakes Virginia, Mizell, Osceola, Maitland and Minnehaha are interconnected with narrow, but relatively deep channels. A ramp located behind Rollins College provides boat access, but you must purchase a ramp-use permit from the City of Maitland or Winter Park. Water skiers and sightseers in pontoon boats may give anglers the illusion that the chain is not a good fishery but largemouth bass, and black crappie populations are decent and can provide good angling in an urban setting. Lake Virginia is best for crappie, while Osceola and Maitland are known more for largemouth bass. Anglers fishing for crappie should drift with live minnows using several poles at various depths. Live shiners work best for bass. Lake Maitland has several pondweed beds. Texas or Carolina-rigged plastics are better in deeper water and pondweed beds; topwater baits work better in the shallows.
