River Lake is a Y-shaped natural freshwater lake on the southeast side of Winter Haven, Florida. It has a surface area. This lake is as much a swamp as a lake, as at least half the surface area is covered with swampy vegetation. On the north and west residences line the lake's shore. On the southwest is a wooded area and on the south is a grove of citrus trees. To the east is a swampy area. Just east of the swampy area is a natural freshwater pond.Fishing Works website, at http://www.fishingworks.com/lakes/florida/polk/eloise/river-lake/ .Polk County Water Atlas, at http://www.polk.wateratlas.usf.edu/lake/default.asp?wbodyatlas=lake&wbodyid=160766 .
While there is no public access to this lake, the Hook and Bullet website says River Lake contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.Hook and Bullet website, at http://www.hookandbullet.com/fishing-river-lake-cypress-gardens-fl/ .
