Winter Park is on the north east edge of Greater Orlando. It started our with a few wealthy people from the northern states looking for an escape from the cold winters. Today, it is known for the very expensive multi-million dollar homes that line the shorlines.

This was part 2 of the Chain of Lakes paddle so that we could cover shorelines we had not explored and also one lake we had not explored. Once again we put in at Dinky Dock, but this time we went south to Lake Virginia on the western shoreline. We then went north up to a smaller lake, Lake Mizell and then out again through a short canal, north up Lake Virginia and through another canal to Lake Osceola. We went up the east shoreline, through the Venetian Canal and into Lake Maitland. We followed the eastern shoreline. Lunch was at Dog Island again, in Lake Maitland. We then paddled back to Dinky Dock. Interestingly, we followed the first of four tour boats through the canal. The second boat was not far behind us.

We encountered some fishing kayaks out fishing. The other thing popular on the lakes are the pontoon tour boats.

Great day for a paddle. Mixed in with the beautiful homes were the parks and old trees.
