The Southern Lake Wales Ridge region contains part of the southern ridge and the Intraridge Valley where there are mostly clearwater lakes. Elevations range from 70-150 feet, and soils are generally in the sandy, well-drained Astatula-Paola-Tavares association. The landcover is primarily citrus groves, with rapidly expanding urban and residential areas. Lakes in the region range from acidic to alkaline, but almost all are clear with low color and low nutrients.

Northern Lake Wales Region

The Northern Lake Wales Ridge lake region extends from the Clermont Uplands in Lake County to the Livingston Creek drainage in Highlands County. The narrow ridge, 100-300 feet in elevation, forms the topographic crest of central Florida. The well-drained sandy soils are dominated by the Candler-Tavares-Apopka association, covered by citrus groves, pasture, and urban and residential development. The lakes are mostly alkaline, low to moderate nutrient, clearwater lakes. Nitrogen values tend to be high. These lakes are richer in nutrients than lakes in the Southern Lake Wales Ridge (75-33).
