Groveland is one of Lake County’s fastest-growing cities, and it is easy to see why. This community blends small-town character with access to some of Central Florida’s best outdoor recreation. Lake David Park offers fishing piers, walking trails, playgrounds, and picnic pavilions under massive live oaks. Cherry Lake Park adds 40 acres of basketball courts, nature trails, and family recreation. Gaffney Memorial Park provides a dog park, sports fields, and shaded walking paths. And just minutes south on SR-33, Revolution Adventures offers 230 acres of off-road ATV tours, clay shooting, archery, and watersports on a 65-acre lake.
The South Lake Trail passes through Groveland on its 12.5-mile route, offering cyclists and joggers a paved path with genuinely hilly terrain unusual for Florida. Lake Louisa State Park is a short drive south with 4,500 acres of hiking, camping, horseback riding, and kayaking. Lakeridge Winery and Vineyards offers tours and tastings just up the road. And for berry lovers, Lake Catherine Blueberries and Susie Q’s Blueberry Farm provide U-Pick experiences from March through May.
Groveland is also home to a growing number of young families drawn by affordable housing, quality schools, and the kind of community character that larger Orlando suburbs have lost. The Groveland Downtown Festival Park hosts holiday events, live music, and community gatherings throughout the year. The city’s position between Clermont and Mascotte on the South Lake Trail corridor makes it a natural hub for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
spa is just 10 minutes east on US-27. For Groveland residents, professional massage, facials, waxing, and laser hair removal are a quick easy trip.
