The Heart of Florida... Highlands County. Here in the center of the Sunshine State, you'll find crystal clear lakes for fishing, boating, skiing and sailing, and more than a dozen golf courses.

Our gently rolling hills, orange groves and charming small towns make this a relaxing country getaway - and our central location provides easy access to Florida's best attractions without the hustle and high prices of the major tourist areas.

Sun-kissed days in Highlands County beg visitors to picnic in the park. Admire our ecology. Cast a line in one of our seemingly endless array of lakes. Play a round of golf, or if you prefer a faster pace, swing over to the speedway. If the need for speed still nags you, quench it on an airboat tour.

Duck indoors for a walk through one of our museums or historical sites. Antiques, art and ambience await, alluring visitors with the Old Florida charm. It's the best of both worlds - within two hours of most major attractions yet removed enough for that get-away-from-it-all feeling. Come discover Highlands County for yourself!
