Lake Kathryn, FL

Lake Kathryn is a census-designated place in northern Lake County, Florida, organized around a small lake of the same name. It sits in the inland belt between DeLand and Eustis, with Ocala National Forest along the northern edge. The area is also known as Lake Kathryn Heights, and the local map is a patchwork of lakefront roads, pine woods, and rural connectors. Although it belongs to the broader Orlando-Kissimmee metropolitan area, its physical setting is tied to the lakes and forests of central Florida.

Lake County community materials list Lake Kathryn Heights among the county's named communities. The county parks plan describes the wider Ocala National Forest landscape through longleaf and sand pine, lakes, and inland recreation areas. Lake Kathryn's local map is a residential lake setting connected by rural roads to the forest and the larger towns of central Florida. The lake gives the place its name, while the forest edge and nearby DeLand and Eustis place it within a larger north-central Florida pattern.
