North shore of Lake Minneola · Lake County
Minneola
Just north of the lake from Clermont. Same South Lake beat — different city hall.
Minneola sits on the north shore of Lake Minneola. Most errands run along U.S. 27 and Hancock Road, and the South Lake Trail ties it to Clermont without getting in the car. The city turns 100 this year.
