About Island Prairie Pond
Island Prairie Pond is a lake in Hernando County, Florida, listed in the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) as a named lake feature.

Some lakes in Florida have public ramps or shore access; others are private, restricted, or accessible only via adjacent parks. Confirm the current access situation locally before visiting.
For boating and fishing access, water levels, and any permits or regulations that apply, check with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or the local parks/land manager for this body of water.
