Lake_Aurora
Lake Aurora is a freshwater lake located in eastern Polk County, Florida. The lake is approximately 9 miles (14 km) east of Lake Wales on State Road 60.[2] While not a very big lake, the lake is relatively deep compared to other central Florida lakes with an average depth of 12 ft (3.7 m) and a maximum depth of 45 ft (14 m). The depth of the lake as well as its crystal blue waters indicate that the lake was probably once a sinkhole which filled with water. The lake is in an area east of the Lake Wales Ridge dominated by scrub oak with occasional sandspur clearings.[3] The lake is perhaps best known for being the home of the Lake Aurora Christian Camp and Retreat Center, a summer camp owned by Christian churches in the central Florida area.
