Tucked between Lake Dora and Lake Eustis, this breathtaking waterway has been called “The Most Beautiful Mile of waterway in the world.” Lined with towering cypress trees draped in Spanish moss, teeming with wildlife, and rich in Old Florida charm, the Dora Canal is a must-visit for kayakers and paddleboarders seeking a peaceful, nature-filled adventure. On this trip we will take you through the Dora canal into the town of Mount Dora where you can have a little bit of the Key West feel going through craft shops and local restaurants. The Dora Canal isn’t just a natural wonder—it’s a historic passage that once served as a key transportation route for steamboats traveling through Central Florida. In the late 1800s and early 1900s.
