Lehigh Acres
Welcome to Lehigh Acres, a diverse community of approximately 80,000 residents. Just 12 miles east of Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres boasts ponds, lakes and canals. With 175 miles of canals and 16 well-stocked lakes, Lehigh Acres is a perfect destination for both fishing enthusiasts and beginners alike. For a change of pace, the Gulf of Mexico and its nearby barrier islands provide spectacular saltwater fishing opportunities, with bountiful grouper, mackerel, redfish, snapper, snook and trout.
