Sign up was quick and easy with the helpful staff. My preference is to order books online so they can be brought in from other branches and I can pick them up in one stop. I have found a wonderful selection of Florida informational books this way and intend to continue this. The downtown facility is large and bright. Parking is easy. I also enjoy downloading the Overdrive audio books to my phone for listening while I walk. I hope they continue adding titles to their catalog through Overdrive.

It was our first time to visit Mt. Dora and we wondered why there were so many cars everywhere on this weekend. The next morning I was searching for things to do and saw this show-listing so we headed over there about 11:30. We couldn't believe all the cars parked at the market and how massive this was. We first walked a good portion of the flea market and the buildings on that side. We didn't see much we 'needed' and then headed over to the antique side about 2:30. We enjoyed this side much more as we looking at so many interesting items. They have these cute little buildings that are open every weekend but we didn't have enough time to go in many of them. That probably was a good thing as we kept finding things to buy in this area! It turns out that we were there during an Extravaganza Weekend that only takes place three times a year. During these shows, they have far more vendors than every weekend.

We had 22 of us for a fun night on the lake for a sunset cruise. Enjoyed ourselves immensely. We saw a gator and a bald eagle and got to see the Christmas lights at the marina from the water. Beautiful evening. I would do it again.

Check before you arrive here as it’s only open for limited hours and I guess it’s manned by volunteers. There is free parking and they simply ask for a donation. We were warmly greeted by an older gentleman who happily explained about the area and buildings. The position of the museum on the lake side is lovely. There are 2 old houses, a school room, library and war hut. Each building is interesting in its own right and they have great photographs of them moving the houses to this spot which to an English person is fascinating as at home houses are dismantled brick by brick not put on a lorry and moved. Loved the displays in the houses and the interesting stuff in the library. Loved looking at the old magazines in the library. My friend finds the war very interesting and the museum in the war hut was very interesting. We were there about 90 minutes and whilst it’s a tiny place it’s worth a visit.

We were in the area for some meetings and had a couple free afternoons. We headed straight for this park. Such a delightful, restful place. There's a walkway around the bay, with bridges to some little islands, a kiddie playground, a boat launch, picnic tables, and sand volleyball courts at one end. There were families, guys fishing, people bird watching, and walkers out exercising. But it's so big that it didn't seem at all crowded. We thoroughly enjoyed the perfect weather, and the peaceful atmosphere. If we lived here we'd find a place close-by and be in this park every day.

The Trout Lake Nature Center is a quiet and peaceful place in the little town of Eustis. Staff and volunteers work to educate about, protect and conserve Florida's environment. Trout Lake Nature Center encompasses 230 acres that include a nature center, museum and turtle habitat, surrounded by a network of dog-friendly short trails that meander through a variety of upland and wetland habitats. A boardwalk leads to a covered dock on Trout Lake with the possibility of wildlife viewing. Throughout the Covid, trails have remained open for visitors to walk. Currently, only the Education building with its hands-free exhibits is open for viewing. Masks are required indoors and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome outdoors.

We really enjoyed our visit being surrounded by nature at Trout Lake Nature Center. You are welcomed with a magnificent oak tree. Don’t miss the two mini boardwalks off the main trail (Adventure Trail and Bobcat Trail). The kids loved them and it felt truly like an adventure. Then if you continue straight you get to Trout Lake which also has a beautiful boardwalk. Very nice nature museums on site with clean restrooms, and a couple of turtles outside too. Fun and educational trip for kids!
