Windermere, Florida, is a small town of roughly 3,500 residents in Orange County — a Central Florida community sitting along the Butler Chain of Lakes corridor just southwest of Orlando whose character has been shaped by its position among one of the most beautiful and most completely realized lake landscapes in all of Central Florida, where the interconnected chain of eleven pristine lakes produces a quality of natural beauty and waterfront community life that makes Windermere one of the most quietly extraordinary and most completely uncommercialized small towns in all of the greater Orlando metropolitan region. The sights here reward attention: Butler Chain of Lakes delivers some of the finest freshwater boating, fishing, and kayaking terrain accessible anywhere in Orange County, and Tibet-Butler Preserve delivers a trail and boardwalk experience through lakefront hammock and wetland terrain that makes every walk feel like a genuine encounter with the Florida natural world at its most quietly and most completely beautiful.
