Harbor at Lake Henry in Winter Haven

Whether you are looking for a home near major employment centers, Central Florida attractions, or beautiful parks and lake waters, Harbor at Lake Henry delivers!

The community is situated directly off Lucerne Park Road/State Road 544 just one mile west of U.S. Highway 27, a major roadway known as the backbone of Florida. Meandering through rural landscapes and orange groves, Highway 27 provides access to I-4 and Walt Disney World to the north, Legoland Florida and cities such as Lake Wales to the south, and is peppered with conveniences such as shopping, dining, and medical centers.

And with its location adjacent to the Lake Henry Canal, a Chain of Lakes canal connecting Lake Henry and Lake Hamilton, you’re only minutes from enjoying the day on the water or in lakeside parks!

Chain of Lakes Living

Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven

Winter Haven is home to an impressive 55 lakes, with 24 of them interconnected by canals and collectively known as the Chain of Lakes. The canals provide a way to travel from one lake to another, and even from one side of the city to the other!

Lake Henry and Lake Hamilton are two of the eight (or nine, depending on who you ask) lakes connected by canals that comprise the northern chain. New homes at Harbor at Lake Henry are nestled adjacent to the Lake Henry Canal between these two lakes, with a limited number of homes directly on the canal providing waterfront living!

This canal is actually a flowway, meaning it’s not a navigable canal and you can enjoy peaceful sights and sounds of water without boat traffic passing by. And when you are ready for a day on the water, public boat ramps on nearby Lake Fannie (2.7 miles) and Lake Hamilton (3.8 miles) are the perfect places for launching your water adventures and accessing navigable canals to travel from lake to lake.
