Things to Do in Clermont, Florida

Updated September 7, 2026

What to do in Clermont first

For a simple Clermont plan, begin at Waterfront Park beside Lake Minneola, choose a City park or trail for the middle of the day, and finish with downtown or the Clermont Historic Village. The City of Clermont maintains the current calendar for public meetings, community events, and parks and recreation programs, so check it before planning around a date.

This guide focuses on durable places and official planning links. Dates, hours, programs, and facility availability can change; use the linked City sources for the final check.

Clermont Waterfront Park & Lake Minneola

The City lists Waterfront Park among Clermont's most-used parks and says city parks have free admission. It also lists Lake Minneola-area recreation, boat ramps, and fishing resources through its parks and recreation pages. Check the official facility details for current amenities, access, and conditions.

Parks and trails for an outdoor day

Clermont's official trails page identifies the South Lake Trail as a major local route and notes trail amenities such as restrooms, shade, benches, information kiosks, wayfinding signs, water fountains, and showers. The City also describes Clermont as a designated Trail Town and links to trailheads and the Clermont–Minneola Trail.

For a shorter outing, the City's parks page lists Waterfront Park, Lake Hiawatha, Palatlakaha Park, the Clermont Historic Village, and other city parks. That official list is the better starting point for choosing a park than relying on a static roundup.

Downtown Clermont and the Historic Village

The City's downtown guide frames the area as a place to sip, shop, and stroll. It points readers toward restaurants, breweries, shops, a waterfront, and the Clermont Historic Village. The same page says the Historic Village includes relocated historic buildings and lists regular weekend hours, but hours and special tours can change, so confirm before you go.
