Waterfront Park

We spent the 4th of July in Clermont at the Waterfront Park. There was a massive downpour (Florida!) right when the festivities were supposed to begin. We waited out the storm and everything started up a couple hours before the fireworks.  There was a show (best Patriotic dress, pie eating contest, etc.) and food trucks. The sunset on the water made up for the weather.

The park itself stretches around Lake Minneola and has a paved trail, picnic areas, playground, and swimming/fishing spots. Bikes, paddleboards, and kayaks can be rented from Waterfront Bikes and Boards. There's also a splash park for the kids which runs $2 for general admission (Champions Splash Park).

It's located near downtown and features frequent events, including festivals and triathlons.

Clermont, Florida

"Waterfront Park is located along Lake Minneola, between East Avenue and Eighth Street. The park is home to almost weekly festivals, such as Pig on the Pond, and a host of triathlons and new water competitions, such as the Champions’ Dragon Boat Festival and Leader of the Lake Regatta. A fitness trail that is part of a 30-mile system, and will be part of the coast-to-coast trail, runs through the park."
