But the absence of visible water source suggests an underground supply of fresh water. Like many of the lakes in the region, Lake Louise leaks water to the underlying Floridian aquifer system. Lake Louise is classified as a POWH according the National Wetlands Inventory Map produced by the U.S. Department of the Interior. On the shore, some species of ants were noticed, while bird's nests were observed on the trees. There were fishes and an alligator swimming in the water.
Several insects abound, including bees, dragonflies and plenty of mosquitoes.
Other animals probably live in and around the lake, even though these were not observed on this trip. These wild life are now protected by the Tortoise Act and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The vegetation around Lake Louise consist of tall trees, scrubs and tall thick grasses, thriving in swampy surrounding. Several varieties of these plants are found, amongst which are ferns and wild flowers as well as abundance of algae, especially Duckweed. Towering above this vegetal undergrowth, and hovering at the background, are wide varieties of trees, such as water oaks, white oaks and pine, some with spanish moss growing on them.
