My son lives in Clermont. Time to check it out. Thanks

[@lindathehermit8053]

Clermont is home now, after over 60 years in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Nice video.

[@GringoLoco1]

Yet another place I didn't know I need to visit. Thanks!

[@janeellis5136]

Thanks for another great video. Clermont is one of our favorite places to visit. Last time we went we had lunch at "Lily's on the Lake" after a morning at "Showcase of Citrus" which we never tire of visiting. We love your recommendations.

[@ChadGallivanter]

Yes, we like Lily’s. Another great view!

[@bellabee9295]

Next to Clermont is Groveland where Wilotree Park is, it is the home of Paradise Air Sports where you can experience free flying on a hang glider with top instructors or a ride with the legendary Bob On an ultralite,, it is the best way to see the area from the air . Don't miss out this experience!

[@DColcla]

I didn’t know that….. I have been wanting to do this for years.

[@yarosebas]

@@DColcla please do so you won"t be disapointed, is on Rd 33, ask for Victoria or Eric Williams

[@DColcla]

@@yarosebas super. Nice I get back home we’ll do it!

[@pigybak]

Love Lakeridge winery.

[@helgabullabong]

Gosh you can really see how flat Florida is from the top of the Citrus tower. Great views. Cheers

Living in clermont/minneola,for 15 years and seen how fast it has grown, I most say they are truly the choice of champions from triathlon to rowing,bike riding and the chain of lakes.were glad that the town hasn't to all that entertainment away. Btw thank you for the information I will be visiting some places in the downtown area I learn today

[@TheHagi1969]

So looking forward to visiting Clermont in October - we did Winter Garden last year (during our annual trip from Ireland to Florida). I can already see myself having lunch in the Tiki Bar and enjoying the view, thanks Chad!

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thank you!

[@DColcla]

You can also rent one of four of the pontoon boats that dock there at the Tiki bar. If you were born prior to 1984 ( or thereabouts) you don’t even need a boating license.

[@TheHagi1969]

@@DColcla Thanks!

My husband and I were walking through Kohls the other day in the men’s department and I stopped and said to Ken, “look! A Chad Gallivanter shirt!😃” it was the same style but a different color, my husband thought it was actually your brand for a minute lol We really enjoy your videos. Ken grew up in Homosassa Springs. We love the Gulf side but on the Atlantic side, we love St. Augustine and always stay at the La Fiesta on A1A. Because of the beautiful beach access 😎 We’ve been to Clermont and at The Showcase of Citrus where, from a food truck, we had our very first taste of Cuban food and became instantly hooked 💖 we like Clermont Florida 🌴🦩🍊

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thanks Fran!

[@nicolecurry5627]

We lived in Clermont for a year it’s absolutely fantastic here we go to the tiki bar at least 3 times a week lol 😂 I work for universal studios hopefully next year I can afford a house here in Clermont as well

[@jarrettgoodman2042]

Hello Chad!!! Just wanted to say through this comment section that I'm a huge fan of your videos. Your videos have helped me into researching all about Florida and it's amazing different towns and cities. So much so that I have been planning to move to the Space Coast area for some time now upon graduating from college in Tennessee. Thank you for the amazing videos that you have created, and keep up the good work on showing what all of the Sunshine State has to offer for both tourists and residents alike!

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thank you Jarrett!

[@nole8923]

There’s a similar tower to the citrus tower called the lake placid tower in Lake Placid, Florida. It’s a less known tower, but it overlooks the beautiful lakes in the area. Unfortunately they stopped letting people go up the tower in 2003.

[@hopeg02]

You should come to guru resteraunt ! We’re by where graffiti junction used to be, they closed a few months ago but we are open in the same plaza ! If you love Indian food, a great view, a good large cold beer, we got you covered ! My boss’ name is Uday Kadam and he’s been here for about 9 years, just had his ribbon cutting for 9th year anniversary this month! You seem to love clermont and I’m sure you’d love to visit ! :)

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@DColcla]

You can also rent one of four of the pontoon boats that dock there at the Tiki bar. If you were born prior to 1984 ( or thereabouts) you don’t even need a boating license. Just go out and enjoy the lakes!

[@summerloveleigh]

Chad! You've got to try Root and Branch bistro and bar!! Best food and service in Clermont by miles! All localy sourced food made fresh from scratch. Come check it out!

[@ChadGallivanter]

We’ll do that. Thanks!!

[@10MEGAMETAL]

Nice video

[@crystaljames9455]

We are going to visit Clermont, Winter Garden and Apopka thanks to your videos. Hotel suggestion?

[@ChadGallivanter]

You might want to check out the Oakland Manor House, a B&B just outside Winter Garden in the community of Oakland.

[@AUClay]

I’m a Lake County native! I remember when citrus groves was all you could see! I hate that development has taken over! I miss old Florida! Locals always said, “If it’s Snowbird season, why can’t we shoot them?” 😂 😂

[@susievidal4134]

Does Sugar loaf mountain have any homes for sale?

[@aasim8]

👍

[@scaricatladi]

Enjoy Clermont and the rest of Lake county while you can. Beautiful citrus groves are replaced by cookie cutter neighborhoods and strip malls. Sugar Loaf Mountain is rapidly being developed. I have watched Central Florida being destroyed by boom construction for 25 years. Our small town in Lake county is has been found and the infrastructure isn't in place for all these people! Why does everyone want to turn Florida into, 'Like it is Up North?'

[@jamieruth7165]

Exactly. This goes for most of Central Florida. The land is constantly being developed, it's really sad. Let's never take Florida's natural beauty for granted. 🧡

[@susievidal4134]

Are there many Latino in Clermont? Are there things to do for younger kids ? Community pools that we can join ?

[@baevan-ni3fw]

No mostly white country rednecks 😅

[@deriklarue8433]

Founded in 1884

[@deriklarue8433]

I used to live at 1021 west montrose street in the late 80s into the 90s

[@DColcla]

The best place to eat is Southern on 8th in downtown. A bit pricey but worth every bite.

[@summerloveleigh]

Naw, Root and Branch is 10x better and the OG. Southern copied a lot from them

[@DColcla]

@@summerloveleigh oh? Never heard Root and Branch. Downtown area?

[@summerloveleigh]

@@DColcla it's not in downtown. It's in the Oakley Seaver plaza. Behind Sonny's on 50 and Oakley Seaver . Next to the tire place and behind gators

[@summerloveleigh]

@@DColcla the Porkchop and Fried green tomatoes are LEGENDARY!

[@domfer2540]

You are to young to remember the time that the smell and sights was great. Greedy bankers and developers caused the end of the crops. Bicycle path has ruined the small communities and cause owners of homes to no longer afford to live here.

[@tedphillips2951]

True & I remember that but the big freeze didn't help the situation. I'm not sure I like the new discovery of Florida though!

[@nole8923]

I’m waiting for the housing market in Florida to crash. Right now only millionaires can afford to buy a house in Florida. Where I live I have a 3 bedroom 2 and a half bath house in a decent area and my mortgage payment is only about $1,100 a month(used to be $980 a few years ago before my home value skyrocketed and they raised my taxes).
