Howey-in-the-Hills, a rolling community located just south of Tavares and noted for its scenic beauty, is home to the famous Mission Inn, a world-class golf and tennis resort. This elite community, once intended as the largest horticultural empire in the world (before the stock market crash and the worst freeze in Florida history thwarted this goal), Howey-in-the-Hills attracts those affluent Floridians who crave a small-town atmosphere but easy access to big-city amenities. Most Howey residents own their own groves or other businesses, and the ever-expanding Mission Inn employs many others.
Lake County is a boater's dream with 1,400 lakes covering 202 square miles. Lake Harris alone is a 13,788 acre fresh water lake and, through a network of locks, canals and lakes, provides boaters with access to the Atlantic Ocean.
