Pair Minneola with Clermont
Minneola and Clermont sit close together, so Trailhead Park can be combined with Lake Minneola, Waterfront Park or Downtown Clermont without creating a long driving day.
Before you go: Save the two destinations separately in your navigation app so the route takes you to the correct entrance and parking area.

The US 27 area provides convenient everyday shopping, cafés and restaurants. For a wider choice of independent dining, continue into Downtown Clermont.
Pamela & George’s Tip
Our suggestion: Use Minneola as part of a two-stop local day: begin with a walk or outdoor activity, then continue to Clermont’s waterfront or historic downtown.
