10 Things You Can’t Miss in Clermont, Florida

Take State Road 50 west from Orlando into Lake County and you’ll reach the “gem of the hills.” The city of Clermont was founded in the 1880s, a heritage that’s on full display through a series of original structures on the banks of Lake Minneola.

Dominating one of the largest hills in the area is the 50’s-era Florida Citrus Tower. This 226-foot-tall tribute to the region’s citrus industry provides a bird’s eye view of the landscape which has evolved from orange groves to modern-day housing developments.

While an observation tower might be the city’s biggest claim to fame, the historic downtown area has become a destination for local foodies. With several food halls and vendor markets occupying space on and near Montrose Street plus other brick and mortars locally-owned and operated, historic Clermont has become one of our favorite places to hangout on a Saturday.
