Boating at Lake Dias, Florida

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Stake Your Land Realty, Inc. BK3166989

Lake Dias is located in De Leon Springs, Florida, in Volusia County, Florida. The lake is accessible to the public through Candace R. Strawn/Lake Dias Park, a 36-acre park that offers a boat launch, picnic facilities, and a playground. While swimming is not recommended due to gator-infested waters, it is a popular spot for fishing and other water sports. The park is open 24/7 and the admission is free. The Lake spans 740 acres and has picnic tables to seat and relax and enjoy the view. No worries, there is bathrooms in site, a small playground and grills. If you are looking for properties in the area, do not hesitate to call me. There aren’t many properties that come up for sale around the lake; the last 10-acre home listed sold was in May 2024 for $1,400,000. A developer has platted some parcels on the West side of the lake; I am sure they will become available in the future. The address to head to Lake Dias is 5320 State Road 11, De Leon Springs, Florida 32130. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Oh, by the way, ladies/girls, expect your hair to get windswept and tangled when boating.

Hello, Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 why am I not surprised to read that admission is FREE in the great state of Florida!  I love being on the water, on a lake, river, or at sea.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist it is free and so nice, I love Lake Dias, when we go, it is during the week and there is hardly anyone there. I did catch a fish last time we went.

You mentioned that there are gators in the waters, so I would definitely not want to fall out of the boat, haha.

Really lovely, Katina. But I'm not worried about messing up my hair... I never get on water... I suffer terribly from motion sickness. And if that wasn't a problem, the gator-infested waters would give me pause.

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker sorry to hear about your motion sickness. The gators I understand, we have seen few, but who knows how many are in the hiding, lol

Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 gators and snakes... big no, no's in my life! I'm absolutely petrified of them.

Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 I guess they are harmless! I get itty bitty frogs on my front porch from time to time in summer.

Hello Katina - there can be something refreshing about boating - it is a sensory experience of many sorts for more than a few.  Thank you for sharing this information about Lake Dias Florida.

Michael Jacobs It is definitely refreshing, I wish we could go out more often. Sometimes the weather prevents us from going in.
