Continuing exploring just outside The Villages, Florida takes us to Mount Dora to Premier Boat Tours in Mount Dora. Mount Dora is about 45 minutes from Brownwood Paddock Square and offers so much to see and do.
About the Dora Canal Eco-Tour, from their website: A 2-hour Narrated Eco-tour of Lake Dora and the Dora Canal. As we cross Lake Dora, you will be given a brief history of Mount Dora and the Harris Chain of Lakes, all the time looking out for bald eagles & osprey. Once under the railway bridge in Tavares we enter the Dora Canal; the first portion of the canal was dug by hand and is the residential section, beyond is the natural jungle river which winds its way through a Cypress Swamp. This tight meandering passage through the 2,000-year-old trees allows us to search for herons, egrets, anhingas birds, turtles and alligators and observe them in their natural habitat. The route is reversed once we turn around in Lake Eustis or Gator Inlet.
I have not been on the tour but a friend, past client belonged to the boat club in Leesburg and he took us out for the day including a trip on the canal.
