Lake Tohopekaliga, also known as Lake Toho, is a large freshwater lake located in central Florida, USA. The lake is about 22,700 acres in size and is located in Osceola County, just south of the city of Kissimmee.

Lake Toho has a rich history dating back to the Seminole Wars, during which the lake was a strategic location for both the Seminole and American armies. Later, the lake became known for its commercial fishing industry and was a popular spot for bass fishing tournaments. In fact, Lake Toho is considered one of the best bass fishing lakes in the United States, with largemouth bass weighing over 10 pounds regularly caught there.

The lake is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including alligators, turtles, otters, and a variety of bird species such as bald eagles, ospreys, and great blue herons. The lake is also a popular spot for recreational activities such as boating, kayaking, and birdwatching.

Interestingly, Lake Toho is connected to a network of canals that link it to other lakes in the region, including Lake Kissimmee and Lake Okeechobee. This network of waterways is known as the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and is an important habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.

In recent years, Lake Toho has faced challenges related to water quality and pollution, but efforts are underway to restore and protect the lake and its ecosystem. Despite these challenges, Lake Toho remains a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
