I use to live in east Orlando and would take 417 across that lake everyday on my way to work. I heard they use to dump nuisance gators in that lake before they started their practice of destroying them.

I have actually kited on lake Jackson in Sebring without much turbulance. At what I would consider the main launch site the water is knee to waste deep and pretty clear for the most part. This is mostly due to the water level being low.

Back to the original topic, I would not kite lake Okeechobee, especially when the coast is a short drive away.
