Lake Monroe Tours

Morning sunrises along Lake Monroe on 17/92 leading into Sanford are great in late summer and early fall. People are already out on the sea wall fishing as I'm headed to work. #EndlessSummer.

The park is mainly a boat launch, but the old 17-92 swing bridge is part of the park and makes an excellent spot to watch boats and wildlife. Boat traffic funnels under the railroad drawbridge next to the park. There's an osprey nest on the drawbridge and the birds have to move from one side of the nest to the other when the bridge goes up.
Did you know the mere sight of water can lower your stress levels? That's why you should visit Lake Monroe. From the lovely views to the tranquil sounds of nature, this is a place where you'll find some peace.

You'll soon learn why this Central East Coast Florida body of water is popular with travelers. If you're looking for more to do and see here, Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Seminole Towne Center, and DeBary Golf & Country Club are in the area too. They won't take you very long to get to from Lake Monroe.
