Lake Marion is a natural lake about 3 miles long and 2 miles wide, east of Haines City in Polk County.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Lake Marion, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
Its east side borders conservation land along Lake Marion Creek, and it's a quieter option than the busier lakes closer to Orlando.
