About Lake Hires
Lake Hires is a lake in Volusia County, Florida, listed in the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) as a named lake feature.
GNIS is the federal gazetteer of named physical features, so this entry confirms the lake's name and location — but it does not carry details about public access, boat launches, parking, ownership, or fishing regulations. 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.
