The Polk County Water Atlas says the lake sometimes is known as Little Otis, but this is confirmed nowhere else.

It is connected on its northeast side to nearby Lake Link by a 50 feet (15 m) canal.

To the south of this area is a gated community that can be accessed by the public during the daytime.

[1][2] Lake Otis has no public boat ramps or swimming areas.

The Hook and Bullet website, however, says Lake Otis contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.
