Lake Conine is bounded on the north and southwest by residential areas.
On the east the lake is bordered by SR 544 (Lucerne Park Road).
A study commissioned by Polk County in 1994 found the high level of effluent resulted in nutrient recycling from lake bottom sediments.
The county paid the company that performed the lake research to apply liquid aluminum sulfate to the lake's surface to inactivate the nutrient recycling process, thus repairing the damage the wastewater effluent had caused.
The Hook and Bullet website says the lake contains black drum, bigmouth buffalo and atlantic salmon.
