Winter Park Boat Tour Offers Tranquil Journey Through Winter Park Chain of Lakes

Winter Park Boat Tour

Three blocks from Winter Park’s famed Park Avenue shopping district sits a boat dock that allows curious individuals up-close access to some of the most beautiful waterways and mansions of Winter Park on the Scenic Boat Tour.

The one-hour “cruise” travels along 12 miles of manmade canals and lakes. Along the expedition, a guide provides history of Winter Park highlights including the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens, Rollins College, Kraft Azalea Garden, and the Isle of Sicily—a small island of 10 private homes that are among the most impressive in Central Florida.

Nature and Wildlife

A spotting of nature’s beauty is sure to be seen as well—the graceful Cypress and Palm trees, large cranes, and perhaps even an alligator.
