Travel Guide

Lake Dora is the most prestigious of the Harris Chain Lakes. This is due to the fact that the historic lakefront town of Mount Dora sits on its eastern shore.

Found this park by accident. On a HUGE lake outside of Mount Dora. Has a real train people can ride for a price. During the holidays people take a ride on the train and Santa makes an appearance! Very cool for kids of all ages, even adults. Park has water park in summer, playground open year round and much much more!
They say that Tavares, FL is the Seaplane Capitol of the World. Don't know about that, but it certainly is fun.

Room was very clean and in great condition. Good hotel and price in the area. Good parking. Was able to do the treadmill in the small workout room. Breakfast was light, only pancake maker was broken. Need at least 4 waffle makers in a hotel to account for guests and any that break.
