With a great assortment of small businesses and a picturesque green, the old center of Eustis merits some exploration. A National Historic Site, downtown Eustis is bounded to the west by the lakefront, and beautiful Ferran Park. With an historic bandstand, this is a natural place for outdoor events, and there are a lot of them. Eustis’s dining and ...
Downtown and right on the shore of Lake Eustis, Ferran Park is one of the prettiest urban parks I’ve seen. Partly reclaimed from the water, the park features a paved walkway that follows the lake’s contours. There are plenty of places to sit along the way, with stunning views that become magical at sunset. The Alice McClelland Bandshell is a real c...
The Eustis Historical Museum is in an 18-room mansion built by one of the area’s first settlers. Guilford Davis Clifford moved to central Florida from New York in the 1870s, and ran a general store and established the local mail service. In 1910-11 Clifford built this stately Classical Revival house backing onto the lakefront. The plans had been dr...
Moments from downtown Eustis, Trout Lake Nature Center is dedicated to preserving Central Florida’s unique nature. Encompassing 230 acres of hardwood hammock and floodplain forest, this is a piece of wilderness in the middle of the city. Out in the preserve I was amazed by the many stately old live oak trees, with names like Celebration Oak, Hidden...
One of the more unusual water bodies around Eustis is Lake Alfred. Just a couple of miles from downtown, this is actually a sinkhole lake, as you may tell from the large depression in the landscape. Over many years, water seeped from underground sources, carving out the slopes and creating an elevation change of more than 100 feet. Before it was ac...
Fall through spring, this local farm welcomes the public for all kinds of agritourism experiences. Amber Brook Farms’ fields were planted in the 2010s, on the site of an overfarmed citrus grove. If you’re in town between March and May you can visit for U-Pick blueberries. I had no idea there were so many varieties of this fruit, among them Sweet Cr...
On Eustis’s east flank there’s a sprawling state forest covering more than 25,000 acres on the Lower Wekiva River. For me, one of the great things about Seminole State Forest is its biking trails. There are more than 20 miles to pedal along, with a lot of shade, easy terrain, hard-pack surfaces, and few motor vehicles. You can get to the Cassia Tra...
Before the railroads were built in the 1880s the main way to transport people and goods was on the water. Steamers used to shuttle along Lakes Eustis, Dora, Harris, and Griffin. To relive those times you can head down to Mount Dora, where there’s a tour company providing a choice of cruises. The owner, a 4th-generation local, has been in the busine...
In the list of natural sites to be enjoyed near Eustis is a hardwood swamp and the peculiar darkwater environment of Lake Norris. A St. Johns River Water Management District, Lake Norris Conservation Area is famous for its osprey nests. There are thought to be more than 100 nests, high in the cypresses on the shores of the lake. If you’re in the ar...
If you still have an appetite to explore, you can reach these 770 acres of public land in just ten minutes from downtown. Pine Meadows is made up of a tapestry of habitats, including wetlands, wet meadow, pine flatwoods, and open water on the east side. This landscape was purchased by Lake County in 2004. Since that time a lot of work has gone into...
