Hotels in Avon Park

Escape to a slice of old Florida where Lake Anoka's waters reflect the small-town pace. The Museum of the Arts showcases local creativity while Maxwell Groves country store offers citrus treats in a setting that hasn't changed in generations. Golf enthusiasts can choose between River Greens, Pinecrest, or Highlands Ridge courses - all offering fairways without the coastal price tags. Nature beckons at Lake Glenada and Silver Lake with their abundant wildlife and fishing opportunities. For a wilder adventure, head to nearby Highlands Hammock State Park where ancient cypress trees create cathedral-like spaces and alligators remind you this is still very much Florida.
