This lake is south of Sebring, Florida, and inside the southeast part of Highlands Hammock State Park.

The area immediately surrounding it is rural, but there are housing developments scattered through the area in which the lake is located.

[5][6] Blue Lake provides public access along its entire shore.

The public is allowed to access Highlands Hammock State Park and therefore Blue Lake daily from dawn to dusk.

A parking area and four shelter houses with picnic tables are on the northwest side of Blue Lake.
