Lake Placid Tour

Nestled in between the hustle and bustle of south of Tampa, and somewhere north and east of Naples is a quiet, mostly rural community with lovely freshwater lakes, dairy farms, and a winery or two. A place called Lake Placid. No, not the horror movie. That Lake Placid is in New York, allegedly.

In one particular stretch of US 27, you’ll come across the sleepy gem of Lake Placid. Florida.

Lake Placid it’s comprised of a smaller population drizzled with an assortment of quality restaurants and boutiques, and the freshwater lakes are something special with their glasslike appearance at dawn, and clear, clean water.

What is special about Lake Placid as far as a community, is it his home to a cute clown museum, and the town cultivates a special artsy feature that you can explore throughout the quiet downtown streets. Dozens of murals, and special mural-type features can be found at every turn in the sleepy downtown district. You can enjoy an easy walking tour, or bike to enjoy and admire the fantastic artistry and detail of each mural.

For the visual aesthetic, each mural has a unique story and message pertaining to the history of the local area, and Florida overall.

As far as accommodations, you can find many lakeside rentals and cottages which make for a unique and pleasant getaway.

You can easily find enjoyable breakfast spots. Also, as we like to encourage at Florida Golden Adventures, should you reside at a rental or cabin during your stay with a kitchen you can stop at Publix and stock up whatever will make your trip enjoyable to your foodie desires. And of course, you’ll want to include your favorite breakfast items on your shopping list. Enjoying breakfast in your PJs with an amazing sunrise reflecting off the calm lake is supreme.

For dinner and cocktails, you can find several unique places to explore and enjoy a short drive outside of Lake Placid. And should you find yourself bored, and in search of stimulation, you can always take the short drive over to Seminole Brighton Casino. Just be sure you make it back to your cabin in time to enjoy a rich cup of coffee with one of the most magnificent sunrises Florida has to offer over the lake.

Visiting Lake Placid should be on every couple’s bucket bust. For a light outdoor adventure coupled with clear freshwater lakes, magnificent sunrises, and a dash of romance, Lake Placid Florida is a great start on your retirement roadmap.
