The lake is located off of Brosche Road just east of Orlando Executive Airport.

Orange County Sheriff’s deputies say a 39-year-old man went missing while paddle boarding with friends early Saturday morning.

Authorities said friends told them the man fell into the water and never resurfaced.

The friends reportedly called 911 after searching an hour and a half without finding anyone.

Orange County Fire Rescue and Orange County Sheriff’s Office are actively searching the water by pontoon boat and using a helicopter to search from the air. 

A neighbor said the home is often used as a Airbnb.
