This lake has no public swimming areas or public boat ramps. However, a canal in the cove goes to Lake Conine to the west. Another canal, some of the time unusable because of its shallowness, is on the east side and connects to Lake Fannie. Lake Smart is on the northern chain of lakes connected by canals in the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. In addition, the public may reach the shore of Lake Smart along Route 544, so this lake can be fished and boated by the public. The Hook and Bullet website says Lake Smart contains largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie.[3]
