Clermont, Florida
Rolling hills and citrus groves create Florida's unexpected topography in this lakeside town.
Clermont sits on Florida's highest point, where orange trees climb gentle slopes and chain lakes stretch between cypress-lined shores. The downtown feels like a small Southern town that happens to be surrounded by water, with brick storefronts facing a lake where paddleboarders drift past fishing docks at sunset.
