Tenoroc Fish Management Area
Located in northeast Lakeland, Tenoroc Fish Management Area is a 7,300-acre tract of land that was mined for phosphate until the mid-1970's. In 1982, Borden inc. donated this property to the State of Florida. Approximately 1,000 acres of lakes, Tenoroc currently has 14 lakes open to the public seven public boat ramps, fishing platforms, abundant bank-fishing access, picnic facilities and rest rooms.
In 1983, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists began to evaluate the fisheries at Tenoroc, develop a fish management plan, and implement extensive research studies. Research was directed at testing a variety of restrictive harvest regulations on largemouth bass in an attempt to maintain high quality fishing success. These studies yielded important information to biologists that now directly benefit anglers. Based on these findings, Commission biologists continue to manage Tenoroc fish populations that attract and satisfy thousands of visitors annually.
Locally, Tenoroc is known for its recreational facilities and sports fishing. Hiking and Horseback riding is allowed only on designated trails. Tenoroc offers one six-mile hiking trail and over 12 miles of riding trails.
