Alligator Lake is a 3,400-acre lake in eastern Osceola County, a few miles east of St. Cloud and the largest lake in the Alligator Chain of Lakes.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Alligator Lake, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
Canals link it to Lake Lizzie, Coon Lake, Trout Lake and Lake Gentry, and it's one of the cleaner lakes in central Florida, sometimes called the headwaters of the Everglades.

- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires an observer besides the driver or a wide-angle rear-view mirror, and the person being towed must wear a life jacket. Towing isn't allowed from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise.
- Jet skis can't be operated from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, and the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver.
