As if Mount Dora wasn't charming enough there's an awesome board walk and nature trail right next to the lighthouse! You can usually spot lots of wildlife from the boardwalk (turtles, snakes, alligators, birds). What we like is that majority of the walk is shaded, which is a must in FL!

If you have kids that still need to burn off extra energy, there's a park right across the street (Gilbert...
