It is just north of a canal on the northwest side the leads to Lake Jessie.

Lake Idylwild is on the northwest side of Winter Haven, Florida.

Residential areas border this lake on the northeast and western shores.

The Take Me Fishing website says this lake contains largemouth bass, black crappie and bluegill.
