[Q=stevef26] The lake at Summer Bay is also nice for fishing and other water activities. Steve[/Q] We just bought at Summer Bay. What kind of fish are in the lake? Do non-Florida residents need a license? Does the resort rent boats? If so, how much? How good is the fishing? I saw the pictures of the water play structures, but I'd be leary about letting the kids swim in the lake given the amount of undeveloped (wild) land around the resort. We stayed at Lake Bryan last year (near Disney east entrance) and the resort made it clear that alligators were often present and could be aggressive in mating season. That was in a more built up area than Summer Bay. I've also been reading about a scary sounding amoeba that frequents Florida waters in the summer months that would make me think twice about letting the kids swim in the lake, even though it is rare: http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/10/04/amoeba.lake/index.html http://www.boston.com/yourlife/health/articles/2007/09/30/brain_eating_amoeba_kills_6_this_year/
