All about Inverness

 

 

Images of Inverness - Photos by JGH - Thanks to City-Data.com

Inverness is located north of Tampa along Highway 41 near the Withlacoochee River and Tsala Apopka Lake. With all the charm of the “old south,” Inverness celebrates a relaxed and nature-loving lifestyle. For those looking for an alternative to the crowds and noise of other Florida cities, the moss-covered oak trees, southern hospitality, relaxed pace and small town atmosphere all hold a distinctive allure.

 

This area of springs, rivers, lakes, scenic reserves and ancient natural sites has been referred to as “Mother Nature’s theme park.” Around Inverness you’ll find all you need in the ways of shopping and amenities, but take time to explore into the country and you’ll be enriched by the rolling green hills, lakes and natural wonders. With Henderson Lake encapsulating much of the town, it is no surprise that Inverness is well-known for its boating and fishing. Prefer the terra firma; the nearby Withlacoochee State Trail offers over 40 miles of maintained trails for hiking, biking or inline skating.

 

In addition, being in the heart of Florida Inverness is close to everything including the theme parks of Orlando which are approximately an hour away.
