We check out Long Island, Horseshoe Island and Monkey Island. We could have not asked for better weather and we had a great day out on the water!

My wife and I just joined FBC in winter haven and are headed to Harris chain of lakes on Memorial Day so thank you for the cool locations to check out!

[@OverlandFlorida]

You’re very welcome. I’ll see you out in the water some time. The lakes on the Harris chain are so much larger than the Winter Haven Chain.

[@chucksmith5002]

It looked like a Banded Water Snake. Nice Tour Kevin thanks for taking us alone enjoyed it.

[@OverlandFlorida]

I'm pretty sure that's what it was. You're welcome!

[@davidwelty9763]

These are great videos!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you.

[@chetwysocki595]

Kevin, you are living one hell of a life!!!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks Chet!

[@MikeMcCormick1325]

Love the Harris Chain videos, we live on Lake Eustis and have a Hurricane 192… we’ll definitely check out these little hidden beaches! Thank you!

[@OverlandFlorida]

You're welcome!

[@floridadawg9857]

Another great video.... Thx for sharing

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you!

[@blockaid]

Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

[@OverlandFlorida]

You're welcome!

[@livingthedream1392]

3 months in and we've been out on the water 35 days so far! Those deck boats are nice but we are too old and too fat lol we're all about the pontoon life now lol. I love the bennington tri toons! Also a big fan of the Bayliner Trophy 22 and my favorite offshore is the 24' Sailfish cc ;)

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thats awesome! I can't wait for warmer weather so we can go out again.

[@kipirvin1970]

I think it's funny how people tell you, a Florida native to be be careful.😂 Thanks for your personal experience's all these years Kevin. I've learned a lot.

[@OverlandFlorida]

The amount of people that ask if there alligators where I swim. Lol Thanks for watching them Kip.

[@ronaldprather1248]

Monkey island is where the city of Leesburg use to set off the 4th of July fireworks

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thats really cool. Thanks for letting me know.

[@TheYankmchain]

Hey Kevin! Happy 4th to you! Your dates are VERY quiet. You should think about having a meetup at some point. That would be a lot of fun.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Happy 4th to you too! I do meet ups like 4 times a year through Facebook.

[@ronaldprather1248]

Palm gardens on dead river is a good place to eat also

[@OverlandFlorida]

I'll try that next time. Thanks!

[@Rusted_Link]

North end east side of long Island there's a cove. Full of baby alligators.

[@videojoe7]

The 4 poles, at times a 5th pole with a rope to pull a net connected to the other 4 pole. They catch shiners for bass bait.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Wow, thanks for solving that mystery for me. I never would have guessed that.

[@videojoe7]

@@OverlandFlorida Sure.. I catch & release bass on the Harris Chain. The shiner nets are privately owned. Hope people know it's not a good idea to pull or mess with the nets. I don't have nets out there, just saying they aren't public nets. 👍🏻

[@jeannieedgeman1531]

I think German Shorthaired Pointers are the most beautiful dogs.

[@OverlandFlorida]

They really are beautiful dogs. But I have German Shepherds reserved for #1.

[@stahpit1971]

Well, DANG!

[@joerockme7485]

ENJOY....

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks Joe.

[@Rusted_Link]

Behind the tree of life is a massive fallen limb.

[@davelawrence6777]

Not now because it's to hot but early spring late fall go through Dora thru Beauclair to the appoka canel it also has a lock on it sorry about the spelling. Thanks for the ride

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks Dave, I will definitely be going to the Apopka canal.

[@sherrycalh]

So.. can you swim in the water for just a bit to cool off? Going boating there for the first time and all I hear is ... gators, gators, gators !!

[@OverlandFlorida]

There are gators. But I went to the middle of the lake and jumped in. There’s some good sailing places on the little islands.

[@shawnaustin8957]

👍👍

[@Rusted_Link]

Kevin you should have walked the North end. You can almost walk to the West side.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Maybe we will go back and walk. It seemed pretty peaceful.

[@Rusted_Link]

@@OverlandFlorida also on the south end of Lil Lake Harris is the mouth of Double Run. Crystal clear water. Lots of debris though. On the way back on the West shore is Boondocks Restaurant. Awesome chow.

[@Rusted_Link]

Banded Water Snake

[@OverlandFlorida]

Yeah, I posted on Instagram and that's pretty much the consensus. Thanks.

[@lewisblack3053]

No gators in the middle of the lake?

[@OverlandFlorida]

There could be, but not usually.

[@Rusted_Link]

Posts are remanence of fish traps.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

[@arnoldmendoza587]

I hope you guys picked up the trash.

[@OverlandFlorida]

We would have if we had trash bags.

[@jptzak9194]

Water snake. Dog+swimming=Gator Bait!

[@realityoverland3180]

When you going on a trail ride again

[@OverlandFlorida]

Whenever anyone wants to go out.

[@Roaming-Mike]

[@OverlandFlorida]

[@nb738]
