Background reading: Alligator Lake on Wikipedia
Set in Osceola County, Florida, Alligator Lake is a 3,436-acre natural lake. The water surface sits about 62 ft above sea level.
Water level on this page comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reading at Alligator Lake, published through the Corps' CWMS data service. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.
Mid-sized lakes like this one tend to have shifty, gusty wind near shore and steadier pressure in the middle, which is why gust spread matters as much as average speed.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
