If you need to take a rest from all that exhausting sightseeing, find a shady patch to sit at Lake Dora. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is your time to chill!

Located in Tavares, this body of water is worth a look. But you'll find tons more to see in the area. Gilbert Park, Donnelly Park and ViaPort Florida aren't too far away from Lake Dora.
