All about Mount Dora

Located on the shore of Lake Dora in Central Florida just a 40-minute drive from Orlando, Mount Dora draws antique and art lovers, history buffs, and outdoor enthusiasts looking to clock some time on the lake. There are 4,500 acres of water to explore here, and if you don’t have your own boat, you can rent one from the local marina. You can also wander down to Palm Island Park, a picturesque nature reserve lined with native trees. A tranquil boardwalk winds through the forest before reaching the water’s edge, and you may even spot a gator relaxing along the shoreline.

Founded in the 1870s, Mount Dora really began to develop in the 1920s, and you’ll see an array of historic homes here. The town also has a vibrant art scene, including the Modernism Museum, which hosts exhibits on art and design as well as the craftsmanship of functional objects.

What are the top things to do in Mount Dora?

Housed in Mount Dora’s first firehouse and jail, this museum takes you back through the town’s history from its founding in the 1870s. Along with historical artifacts, you can also explore the old jail cells and even see some of the original graffiti left by prisoners on the walls.

Modernism Museum

This colorful museum showcases one of the largest collections of Modernist art in the world and was created by some of the genre’s most renowned artists.

Lake Dora

One of the seven Harris Chain Lakes, Lake Dora attracts kayakers, boaters, and fishing enthusiasts, who set their lines here for bass and crappie.
