The 2023 Adopt-a-Lake Calendar is now available for purchase. The calendar showcases pictures of Lake County’s beautiful water bodies taken by local photographers.
More than 160 photos of lakes across the County were entered in the 2023 Adopt-a-Lake photo contest. A committee narrowed the photos down to thirty-five semi-finalists for the public to view and vote on. Over 1,700 votes were submitted, and 14 finalist photographs were selected to be featured in the calendar. Runner up submissions are included in a special section in the back of the calendar. Teresa Jenkins’ photograph of Lake Eustis received the most votes and is featured on the calendar’s front cover.

Keep Lake Beautiful (KLB) works closely with the Adopt-a-Lake Program to keep Lake County beautiful by keeping litter out of our lakes.
