About Cory Lake

Convenient to Tampa, Close to Orlando

Cory Lake is conveniently located less than an hour just outside of Tampa. The lake lies in Hillsborough County, Florida. It is surrounded by the township of Cory Lake Isles, a suburban community with almost exclusive lakefront access to the water. Orlando is under two hours away as well.

A Testament to Man-Made Reservoirs

Originally intended for developing infrastructure, the pit that later became the reservoir was unearthed in 1985 by Gene Thomason.

Cory Lake features 10 miles of shoreline, with an area of 165 acres, making it the largest body of water in New Tampa.

Serene and Remote Location Surrounded by Foliage

The community of Cory Lake Isles is surrounded by 17,000 acres of untouched woodlands. The city protects the surrounding wilderness from further development.

Popular for Boating, Fishing, and Skiing

Proper permits are required by Cory Lake Isles in order to use any watercraft. Boats must be 18 feet or less in size and shouldn't reach a noise level above 80 decibels. Water skiing is permitted on the lake, but marine laws are strictly enforced.

Like many lakes in Central Florida, Cory Lake is renown by fisherman for its abundance of large and smallmouth bass. Other species include bluegill and striped bass hybrids.

Community Events

Cory Lake Isles, being the major proprietor of the reservoir, hosts a number of events throughout the year. These include: Christmas holiday parades, spring fling socials, and "A Night in the Islands" theme parties.

In addition, the lake community hosts local fishing competitions as well as holiday fireworks celebrations.

Your Florida Lake Life Experience

With its convenient location between Tampa and Orlando, Cory Lake offers a lake life experience with convenient access to the amenities of neighboring large cities.
