As you might expect from a community with a name that means "between the lakes," the small town of Interlachen enjoys a scenic location near crystal blue lake waters. Lake Lagonda and Lake Chipco border the town, although a number of other lakes and ponds are located nearby in this water-rich region. For many decades, Interlachen remained a favored destination for New England visitors. Some owned vacation cottages while others took advantage of local hotels. At the peak of its popularity, Interlachen boasted daily train service. The area has always been known for recreational opportunities that include bicycling, fishing, and hunting. Spring-fed, sand-bottom lakes create wonderful beaches for picnicking, playing volleyball, and relaxing. Breathtaking sunsets, the thrill of catching a large-mouth bass, jet skiing, relaxing on a paddle boat, or swimming in the warm sunshine are just a few of the pleasures of Interlachen living. Shopping is available close to home, and expanded amenities in Gainesville are only a half-hour's drive from Interlachen.
