Lake County, Florida – Where Life is Better by the Water

Tucked in the heart of Central Florida, Lake County truly lives up to its name — with more than 1,400 lakes and 202 square miles of water, it’s a paradise for nature lovers, boaters, and anyone who enjoys that laid-back Florida lifestyle.

A Little History
Founded in 1887, Lake County was named (no surprise!) for its abundance of sparkling lakes and rolling hills — yes, hills! It’s home to Sugarloaf Mountain, the highest point in peninsular Florida at 312 feet above sea level.
In the early 1900s, the region thrived on citrus farming, earning the nickname “The Land of Sunshine and Lakes.” Even after devastating freezes in the 1980s, Lake County reinvented itself as a hub for eco-tourism, outdoor recreation, and family living.

Today’s Highlights
Clermont – Known for its scenic views and the iconic Florida Citrus Tower, one of Florida’s first tourist attractions!
Mount Dora – A charming, artsy lakefront town famous for its antique shops, annual festivals, and old Florida charm.
Tavares – The “Seaplane City” where you can watch planes land on the water or grab lunch at a dockside café.

Leesburg – Home of the legendary Leesburg Bikefest, one of the largest motorcycle events in the Southeast.
Lake Harris Chain of Lakes – A boater’s dream, connecting several major lakes through scenic waterways and canals.
Fun Trivia (That Even Locals Might Not Know!)
Lake County’s hills were formed from ancient sand dunes — remnants of when Florida was mostly underwater millions of years ago.
The county has more freshwater shoreline than any other county in Florida!
Parts of popular films like “The Waterboy” and “Jeepers Creepers” were filmed right here.
Clermont is home to Olympic-level triathletes and rowers, who train year-round thanks to the area’s ideal terrain and climate.
Why It Matters
Lake County perfectly blends Florida’s natural beauty with small-town charm and outdoor adventure. Whether you’re kayaking through cypress trees, enjoying a sunset in Mount Dora, or climbing the Citrus Tower for a view that goes on forever — there’s always something new to discover.
So next time someone says “there’s nothing to do in Central Florida,” point them to Lake County — where every road leads to a lake, a trail, or a new story waiting to be told.
