Lake Maitland

Close to Downtown Orlando

Lake Maitland is located in Maitland, Florida, a suburban city in Orange County in the Greater Orlando area.

Situated just 7.5 miles north of Orlando, the suburb is one of the oldest incorporated municipalities in central Florida and offers a quaint, picturesque charm that goes in stark contrast to the nearby sprawling city.

Winter Park Chain of Lakes

At 449 acres, Lake Maitland reaches an average depth of 13.5 feet and is the lowermost lake in the Winter Park Chain of Lakes.

The Chain stretches across 2,781 acres and consists of six lakes all connected by deep, narrow channels allowing for navigation between them.

Recreational Activities

The entirety of the chain is popular for paddleboarding, hiking, kayaking, waterskiing and boating.

Lake Maitland offers a good supply of largemouth bass, tilapia and crappie for local anglers and the city of Maitland has a public boat launch for residents and visitors.

Off the Beaten Path

The lake offers a more relaxed, serene environment just up the road from the hustle and bustle of tourist-heavy Orlando. It's the perfect place to take a deep breath, watch some wildlife and just enjoy the view.
