Lake Helen, FL Overview

Henry A. DeLand established the community of Lake Helen in 1883, naming the area for his daughter.  Now a designated national historic district, this quaint town of stately homes nestled along tree-shaded streets offers true Southern charm.  The close proximity of Interstate 4 adds to the convenience of life in Lake Helen, which is known for superb bass fishing in a number of surrounding lakes.  The well-known exercise equipment of Nautilus was first developed and manufactured in this area, although Pyramax Studios now occupies the former site.  Those who appreciate the arts and culture can enjoy the Shoestring Theater, an active Lake Helen community theater that produces an entire season of plays.  Throughout western Volusia County, newcomers will discover a wealth of natural and urban amenities, from open-air concerts in the exciting City of Deland to the recreational wonderland of De Leon Springs State Park and St. Johns River country.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
