What is "twin lakes"

Twin Lakes was a census-designated place (CDP) in Broward County, Florida, United States, which was divided into Twin Lakes North and Twin Lakes South. The population was 1,875 at the 2000 census.

On November 2, 2004, residents of the Twin Lakes North voted to join the City of Fort Lauderdale. The annexation became effective on September 15, 2005, and it now serves as a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood. Twin Lakes South became a neighborhood of Oakland Park, Florida in 2005.

Twin Lakes is a complex of two large lakes in Lake Clark National Park in the U.S. state of Alaska near the northeast corner of Lake and Peninsula Borough. It contains a 6-mile long (9.7 km) upper lake and a smaller 4-mile long (6.5 km) lower lake, joined by a short connecting stream. The lakes outflow westward into the Chilikadrotna River (and eventually into the Mulchatna and Nushagak Rivers and Nushagak Bay). It is quite remote and unpopulated, except in the late summer as it is a popular hunting spot.

The lake complex was the retirement home of amateur naturalist Richard Proenneke (1916–2003), who spent most (1968–1998) of the last 30 years of his life living there in a log cabin he built by hand. (See One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey and Alone in the Wilderness).

The Twin Lakes of Lake Wales, Florida, are two small natural freshwater lakes on the south side of the city. Sometimes they are simply called Twin Lakes, but sometimes they are individually called Twin Lake West and Twin Lake East. All shores of Twin Lake West are swampy, as is the area between the two lakes. The west shore of Twin Lake East is swampy. The west lake, the larger of the two, has a water area of . The water area of the east lake is .

The eastern shore of Twin Lake East is South 1st Street, which is the western edge of South Gate Shopping Center. As this shore is completely straight, it probably was filled somewhat to allow the construction of the street. On the northeast this lake is bordered by Highway 60, on the northwest by trees, on the west by swampy ground and on the south by single and multiple-family housing.

Twin Lake West is bordered on the north by West Polk Avenue, which is on the south side of Highway 60 and the Midflorida Credit Union. All the lake's shore is swampy, although the north side is the least so. All other sides of this lake are surrounded by wide swamps.

There are no swimming areas or public boat ramps on the shores of either lake, although each has one private boat dock. Twin Lake East can be reached by the public along the right-of-way on the sides of Highway 60 and South 1st Street. There is no public access to Twin Lake West. The Hook and Bullet website says these lakes contain largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.
