Tower Lake is a natural freshwater lake located on the north edge of Haines City, Florida. All references to it but one have it named as Tower Lake. In the Wikimapia website, it is called Lake Tower. This lake has a 66.41-acre (268,800 m2) surface area. On the west it is bordered by Highway US 27, on the southwest by vacant land, on the southeast by Osprey Drive (which is part of the Blue Heron Bay residential community), on the northeast by the Calabay Park gated community and on the north by Bates Road. The southeast section of Tower Lake is inside the city limits of Haines City.

Tower Lake has two public areas where boats can be launched. One is a concrete boat ramp on the southeast, accessed by Osprey Drive in Blue Heron Bay. The other is not improved, but is a dirt track access on the north side along Bates Road. Calabay Park has a private boat ramp that cannot be accessed by the general public. This lake has no public swimming area. It can be fished by boat or from the shore along a large part of the north side, along the entire west side and along the southeast. The Hook and Bullet website says Tower Lake contains warmouth, crappie and gar.
