Tour one of the area’s finest historic houses at the Mote-Morris House, which was built by a former mayor and features a four-story turret.

Explore Leesburg’s lakes by boat, kayak or on a scenic road trip. The region’s beautiful natural landscape and abundant Lake County waterways are a great destination for camping and boating. Bring your fishing reel or buy one from a local store to try your luck fishing for sunfish, bluegill and several different species of bass.

Head out to Lake Griffin State Park to discover a magnificent natural reserve where ospreys, bald eagles, herons and river otters make their homes. Canoe or sail through Ocklawaha River to the Harris Chain of Lakes.
