Lake Daisy is a natural freshwater lake on the east side of Winter Haven, Florida. It has a somewhat oval shape and has a 131-acre (530,000 m2) surface area. On all but its northeast shore it is bordered by residential areas. On the northeast is a residential area that has been only about one-tenth completed. On the northwest of Lake Daisy is a short canal that connects it to the tiny Lake Doll.[1][2]
Lake Daisy has a public boat ramp on the very south of the lake, just off Lake Daisy Drive. However, it has no public swimming areas. Adjacent to the boat ramp is a fishing dock. The lake contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.[3][4]
