Lake Placid is famous for a few things (which is a lot for a small town). It's known as the Town of Murals, as well as the Caladium Capital of the World. If you don't know what a Caladium is, just look them up. If you're from Florida, you'll definitely recognize the beautiful flower bulbs. 98 percent of the world's caladium bulbs come from Lake Placid. The abundance of the ornamental green-and-red plant inspired locals to launch the Caladium Festival in 1989. The event, which features arts and crafts and an antique car show, attracts up to 25,000 visitors annually. Lake Placid has almost 50 murals painted on buildings throughout the town; for more than two decades, local and visiting artists have embellished the facades of Lake Placid's businesses with intricate murals honoring the area's history. The city offers 27 clear, freshwater lakes with some of the best fishing anywhere. Large mouth bass are plentiful in the lakes, with six to eight pounders caught regularly. Bluegills, shell crackers and crappies are plentiful as well and provide excellent eating. The moderate temperatures and sunny days assure plenty to do year-round. Water sports, swimming, boating, sailing and fishing are popular activities with visitors and residents. The blue skies, stately cypress trees, and beautiful lake views are perfect for picnics and hiking. This southern portion of Central Florida, also known as "The Ridge," is one of the most scenic areas of the Sunshine State. The local hospitality and the beauty of the lakes, vineyards, and rolling hills makes Lake Placid a sought-after destination. Lake Placid has received some significant notable mentions in the past few years: it was the grand prize winner of Reader's Digest's coveted award, "America's Most Interesting Town" in 2012, in 2015 the city was featured in OnlyinYourState.Com's "These 17 Perfectly Picturesque Small Towns In Florida Are Delightful", and of all the places Fox News went to find Florida's Hidden Gems, they found Lake Placid to be the most unique!
