Tower Lakes can be considered either one or two lakes, since they consist of a north and a south lake joined by a narrow water passage. Tower Lakes is a landscaping feature of the Tower Lakes Adult Mobile Home Community, just north of Lake Wales, Florida. The mobile home park is just east of US Highway 27; the only park entrance can only be accessed from the highway. This mobile home park, for residents fifty-five years and older, contains approximately 500 mobile homes and about 1000 residents during the peak season for winter visitors (December through March). The community has a large clubhouse on the east side of Tower Lakes just south of where the two parts are joined. The water has a 4.1-acre (17,000 m²) surface area. The north lake has almost twice the surface area of the south lake. The north lake is shaped like a backwards small "y" and the south lake is shaped like a capital "R." The two lakes are joined at the center of the bottom of the "y" and the top of the "R."^[3]

No boating, fishing or swimming are allowed at Tower Lakes, but during daytime hours the public may enter the mobile home park to see Tower Lakes. The lake area has a wooden footbridge going over the channel that connects the two parts. Just to the north of the bridge a fountain is just inside the lake. Park benches are placed at various locations on the lake shore.^[4]
