While it might not be the alligator infested lake of Hollywood fame, the Florida town of Lake Placid finds many ways to attract tourists in its own unique way. Guests of Lake Placid vacation homes will enjoy the closeness of this town to some of Florida’s most popular attractions, as well as relish the unique offerings of the community itself.
Visitors with a green thumb will be happy to visit Lake Placid; this destination has earned itself the nickname “Caladium Capital of the World”. More than ninety percent of the world’s caladiums are grown here, mostly in thousands of plots along Route 621. There are also fresh water lakes, accompanied by the appropriate water sports and activities.
Another epithet that has been used to describe Lake Placid is “The Town of Murals”. Indeed, the three dozen outdoor murals, spread throughout the downtown region, are an ideal choice for any visitor who wants to just stroll around in the beautiful weather and enjoy beautiful artwork firsthand.
