East Lake Tohopekaliga, also known as East Lake Toho, is a 12,000-acre circular lake located in Osceola County, Florida. With an average depth of 10-14 feet and a maximum depth of 18 feet, the lake has a predominantly clean, hard bottom with some shell beds and rock structures. The water has a noticeable tannic acid stain common to Florida's natural lakes, but remains relatively clear with visibility up to 7-9 feet in some areas.

The lake's shoreline features a narrow band of perimeter reeds and thin grasses, with less vegetation compared to nearby West Lake Tohopekaliga. The northwest corner of the lake contains more extensive plant growth. Fells Cove in the northeast corner connects to the C-29 canal, linking East Lake Toho to the upper watershed lakes.

East Lake Toho is renowned for its excellent bass fishing, particularly during the winter months. The lake also supports populations of crappie, bluegill, and redear sunfish. Anglers can access the lake via public boat ramps, with one located at the south end of the lake.

Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity to observe various bird species, including great blue herons, snowy egrets, wood storks, and ospreys. The lake's ecosystem provides habitat for alligators, which paddlers should be aware of and maintain a safe distance from.

The St. Cloud Canal exits the southwest corner of East Lake Toho, connecting it to West Lake Tohopekaliga. However, boat passage between the lakes is not possible due to a lock (S-59) on the canal.

For paddlers seeking amenities, East Lake Fish Camp offers a restaurant on the lakeshore. The lake's proximity to Orlando and major attractions like Universal Studios and Disney World makes it a convenient destination for visitors to Central Florida looking to experience natural Florida.
