Your 2012 Florida State HOG Rally in scenic, rider-friendly Lake County, FL Situated in the center of the state about an hour and a half from either coast, Lake County is a wonderful place to ride and explore. The county features gently rolling hills, orange groves, hundreds of clean lakes, marshes, natural springs, and thousands of oak and cypress trees draped with picturesque Spanish moss, along with critters of every size and description. This natural beauty is complemented by an array of interesting and exciting attractions to visit, including a winery, antique shops and museums, and some really great places to eat and wet your whistle. With hundreds of pristine lakes gracing its countryside, there's no surprise how the county got its name, after it was formed from portions of Orange and Sumter counties in 1887. Lake County is known for its diverse landscape and terrain ranging from 0 to 315 feet above sea level. With rolling hills dotted by orange groves in the south to the pristine flora of “Old Florida” in the north, the striking physical beauty of Lake County has captured the hearts and imagination of many. In Lake County's earliest beginnings, pioneers looked to the earth for their livelihood and it became a place rich in agriculture. The county was home to Florida's largest peach orchard in the 1920s and was second in the world for citrus production in the 1960s. Mother Nature took a toll on the citrus crops during a series of freezes in the 1980s, permanently damaging many of the groves and driving some of the growers farther south. Today, Lake County is a different place, with expansive parks and recreational facilities, a booming population and a surge of new housing construction, complementing its agriculture. Yet there remain throughout the county countless scenic and uncongested country roads that will lead to exciting and memorable, fun-filled rides for you and your fellow riders. We look forward to seeing you in October for what is shaping up to be the best Florida State HOG Rally yet. Below is just the beginning of the list of events planned. All events are subject to change, although we are working very hard to get everything firmed up as quickly as possible.
