Highlands Park is in the quiet rural town of Lake Placid, Florida, making it a good place for persons who want to escape busy city life. The town is known as the “Town of Murals,” with more than 50 murals showing local history and wildlife, and as the “Caladium Capital of the World,” where most of the world’s caladium bulbs are grown and celebrated with an annual festival. Surrounded by 27 freshwater lakes—including the large Lake Istokpoga—it offers great opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water activities. Lake Placid has a safe, small-town feel with an old-Florida charm and a central location in South Central Florida. The area also features unique attractions like Toby’s Clown School, Gatorama, Sugar Sand Distillery, and Tropical Winery, along with nature spots such as Lake June-in-Winter Scrub Preserve State Park for hiking and wildlife viewing. Its downtown includes local shops, restaurants, and a farmers market. **More Pictures to come**
