The Dora Canal

Take a trip along the scenic Dora Canal, in Lake County, Florida. Described as the most beautiful mile of water in the world, the canal connects Lake Dora and Lake Eustis. Along the way you'll see nature in its pristine glory, a wide variety of birds, and if you're lucky, a gator or two. Or three... (photos © Rick Cooper 2010)

Wonderfully serene flick Rick,

It's a breath of fresh air to make me forget the sound of the bandsaw buzzing that's been ringing in my ear all night, thanks for sharing

Thanks, Adam. I've been through the Dora Canal dozens of times, and each trip is an adventure. It's simply beautiful.

Thank you Mr. Cooper for a well done photo essay on the Dora Canal. The Native American music is a crowning touch. I guess you have to get out there very early to catch that serenity on the Elfin River these days. Thanks again from a Tavares resident.
