Lake Tohopekaliga
Lake Tohopekaliga—known locally as Lake Toho—is a cornerstone of Florida’s natural heritage and the gateway to the Northern Everglades. Located in Kissimmee, Florida, this expansive freshwater lake marks the headwaters where the Everglades begin their historic journey south. Its shallow waters, wide marshlands, and cypress-lined shorelines form one of Central Florida’s most productive ecosystems and offer a true glimpse into wild, natural Florida.
As part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Lake Toho plays a critical role in the health of the greater Everglades watershed. These waters provide essential habitat for wading birds, alligators, turtles, otters, and countless native fish species. Ongoing restoration efforts have helped return natural water flow to the region, making Lake Toho a powerful example of conservation in action and a must-see destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
