Lake Verona is located at the east end of Main Street (SR-64 E) within the city limits of Avon Park, Florida.

A boat ramp and turn-around exists where Church Street terminates at the lake shore adjacent to historic Donaldson Park.

A broad white sand beach and public swimming area are present, although the lake is highly dangerous due to its depth and steep drop off.

Life guards were once on duty, but such public safety measures are no longer present.

This has been established through radio-carbon dating of core samples from the bottom of the lake.
