Lake Viola is a round natural lake in northern Highlands County, Florida. It is directly north of the city of Avon Park, Florida. Lake Viola has a surface area of fifty-six acres and a maximum depth of twenty-six feet.

This lake has many residences on its shore, especially on the east side. It has a public boat ramp on its northwest shore. It has a tiny swimming beach on its northeast shore, but this appears to be only for the use of lake residents. Since there is a boat ramp, public fishing is allowed by boat. The only public access to the lake is via the boat ramp.[1]
