Lake Eola Park Live Swans & Even Swan Boats

The best way to enjoy Lake Eola Park is to walk the trail around it. The best way to enjoy the lake itself is to rent one of the swan boats you will find on the northwest side of the lake. It is near the Walt Disney Amphitheater which is the rainbow colored attraction shown above.

Feeding or touching the swans is taboo. Swans will eat some things that people feed them. Swans are not the friendliest of animals and they are large enough that they can frighten some people with their actions. It is best to just watch and photo them. They have been coming to the lake for around 100 years and usually up to 5 species can be seen here (seasonally). Australian Black Swans, Black Neck Swans, Royal Mute Swans, Trumpeter Swans and Whooper Swans may be seen swimming in or around the lake.
