Lake Placid

The Town of Murals & Voted America’s Most Interesting Town!

Welcome to Florida’s Lake Country, Lake Placid! This southern portion of the Sebring Region is one of the most scenic areas of the Sunshine State. Their blue skies, stately cypress trees and over two dozen freshwater lakes make for the perfect recipe for unbeatable fishing and water fun. Prefer to stay on dry land? Explore the great outdoors with some of nature’s greatest minds at Archbold Biological Station.

In addition to being celebrated as the Caladium Capital of the World and home to the annual Caladium Festival for over three decades, Lake Placid offers quite the unique art scene. Boasting an outdoor art gallery with over 50 murals throughout the town, it’s clear to see why Lake Placid is also known as the “Town of Murals”. From sprawling citrus groves and vibrant wildlife to ranches and the area’s proud Native American heritage, you’ll find it all depicted in stunning wall art – some as 175 feet wide and 30 feet tall.

And don’t miss any chance to explore the town’s charming boutiques, taste the local delicacies, and unwind in their peaceful parks. The warm hospitality and natural beauty of Lake Placid make it the perfect choice for your next vacation.
