Neighborhood guide: Lake Eola

(Credit: Red Huber)

Established in 1888, this sinkhole turned lake has become an active recreation spot for downtown Orlando residents. Take a ride in a swan boat, peruse the vendors at the Farmer’s Market every Sunday or check out a performance at the Walt Disney Amphitheater. With a track around the lake running close to a mile long, Lake Eola is never void of you fitness fiends or friends just chilling.
