Largest natural lake in Hillsborough County, Florida with a surface area of greater than 800 acres, around which lies the community and Census Designated Place of Thonotosassa.

The lake is popular for recreational use such as fishing, boating, and skiing, but faces challenges such as algae blooms due to extreme nutrient enrichment from its watershed. The lake discharges into the Hillsborough River, and thus contributes part of the drinking water for the City of Tampa.
