Geologists don’t seem to agree on the origin of Ocean Pond. Five types of lake origins have been identified in Florida.

Ocean Pond is a bowl-shaped, 1,760-acre natural lake, approximately 2 miles in diameter. Fishermen have indicated that it’s about 40 to 60 feet deep in the center. One of its most unique characteristics is that it is almost perfectly round. This has led some geologists to believe it was formed by a meteorite. There are also those who believe it may be the results of a giant sinkhole.

    That is a lot of blue. Okay, now I have a question: Did you bring along a fishing pole for this adventure? Or a boat?
