Lochloosa Lake
Lochloosa Lake is a lake about 6,100 acres (2,500 ha) in area in Alachua County, Florida, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Hawthorne, and is up to 10 feet (3.0 m) deep.[1] It is drained by Cross Creek into Orange Lake. It is largely surrounded by the Lochloosa Wildlife Management Area, and is a Fish Management Area. Lochloosa Creek is its largest tributary. The lake is noted for bass fishing.[2][3][4]
As of 2017[update], the lake has not returned to levels seen before a drought in 2012. The lake has become choked with weeds such as hydrilla. The water level in the lake varies by up to 10 feet (3.0 m). The variation in water level is healthy for the lake, and the Orange Creek Basin Advisory Council decided to not try to force a stable water level.[5]
