The Lakefront pavilions, as a result of their close proximity to Lake Tohopekaliga are subject to seasonal Aquatic Midge Fly Infestation.
While similar to mosquitos, these flies (blind mosquitos) do not bite.
The Aquatic Midge Fly usually appears between April-November.
The park is treated by the Osceola County Mosquito Control, however the midge fly is extremely difficult to control since the larva lives on the lake bottom.
The presence of the Aquatic Midge Flies is in no way associated with the cleanliness of the pavilions.
Park staff will clear the pavilion of midge flies when preparing the site for daily reservations.
The City cannot guarantee that the pavilions will be free from flies or bugs during your reserved time.
