Doctor Phillips and Central Florida Lakes

According to the US Census, Dr. Phillips is covered by 29.9 percent water. That’s a lot of lakefront homes and a paradise for boaters, water-sports enthusiasts and bass fishers.

The Butler Chain, also known as the Windermere Chain, was created by sinkholes that were formed by eroding limestone known as Karst topography. Rainwater is the main source of water in the huge 4,720-acre lake expanse. Some spots are as deep as 40 feet.

Pristine Butler Chain of Lakes is made up of twelve interconnecting lakes: Butler, Down, Little Down, Louise, Isleworth, Wauseon Bay, Chase, Tibet-Butler, Blanche, Sheen, Pocket and Fish Lake. Whether you are ready for water or jet skiing, bass fishing or just having a blast on the Butler Chain of Lakes, Orange county lakes are a vacation right in your backyard!
