Exploring Lake Dora, Florida – Historic Lakeside Inn, Blueberry Festival & Pontoon Boat Adventure! 🛥🌅🍇

In this week’s episode of Boating Journey, we continue our Florida road trip and head to the charming town of Mount Dora, nestled along the beautiful Lake Dora.

We stayed at the historic Lakeside Inn, one of Florida’s oldest continuously operating hotels, and soaked in its vintage charm. Our adventure included strolling through downtown Mount Dora, filled with eclectic shops, local restaurants, and vibrant street life. We also attended the Mount Dora Blueberry Festival, a must-experience for fruit and fun lovers!

The highlight of our trip? A relaxing pontoon boat cruise through the Dora Canal, known as the "Venice of Central Florida." We explored Lake Dora and surrounding waterways, spotted wildlife, and caught breathtaking sunsets.

👉 Don’t miss this scenic and relaxing episode that showcases another amazing Florida getaway!

Boating Journey

Thanks for following our Boating Journey. We sold our home, our business and our first boat so we could move onto a liveaboard boat. We sold our 2002 Bayliner 4087 Aft Cabin MY that we moored at Elliott Bay Marina in July 2020 during the pandemic. In 2022, we moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL to be closer to boating opportunities. Our goal is to find a liveaboard slip within the next year and also share with our viewers different ways to can spend time on the water if you don't own a boat. We travel to the Caribbean every year and for 2022, we have chartered a bare boat catamaran and we're headed to the BVIs. Stay tuned!
