On the weekends, don't be surprised if you find a number of residents enjoying the lake in their ski boats and on their jet skis. Tubing, wakeboarding, skiing, wake-surfing, and plenty more are common activities you will see residents enjoying. During the week, you will see much less activity and probably a fisherman or two catching school size & trophy bass alike. Don't be surprised if you see some residents showing of their firework displays on The Fourth of July and New Years Eve.
Lake Pretty Chain of Lakes - As part of the Lake Pretty Chain of Lakes, Lake Rock enjoys a direct link to Lake Josephine, spanning 48 acres. The combined water bodies offer over 102 acres of pristine ski lakes for your enjoyment. While a 50-acre lake might be considered modest for skiing, the presence of two smaller ski lakes ensures a variety of aquatic experiences. For those seeking a tranquil escape, kayaking or canoeing to Lake Pretty, an 84-acre marvel, promises a scenic journey through one of Odessa's most exquisite natural wonders. While navigating this picturesque route, you'll pass through Hidden Lake, and a word of caution, you'll need to duck when passing under the Hutchison Road bridge, particularly during high water levels when clearance becomes more challenging.
Location - Lake Rock's prime location in the northwest quadrant of Tampa offers residents swift access to the Veterans Expressway (SR589). The Citrus Park Town Centre lies just 7 minutes south, while a plethora of grocery stores, shopping destinations, and restaurants await a mere 10-minute drive to the north along the Hwy 54 corridor. In a mere 20 minutes, you can reach Tampa International Airport (TIA), International Plaza, or Westshore Plaza, making your daily commute a breeze. For those who relish the sun and surf, Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach are a convenient 30 to 40-minute drive away. Meanwhile, Orlando and its world-renowned attractions are a mere 1 ½-hour car ride from Lake Rock.
