Hello and Welcome to Lake City, Florida, known as the Gateway to Florida! With I-10 wrapping around from the east and skirting across the top part of Lake City, almost at the Georgia line and I-75, highway 441 and 41, bringing travelers down from the north, Lake City is the first stop for most coming into central Florida and what a nice welcome!

Most envision Florida as palm trees and sandy beaches, so our rolling hills, dotted with farms and ranches are a nice surprise, and as they get closer to town and see our old southern homes, shaded by majestic oaks, draping in Spanish moss, they realize they are in for a special place.

Add to that our incredible springs and rivers that flow around and under, and visitors realize they are getting to see a Florida that those flocking to Disney World and Epcot never know of. Florida is so much more than Mickey Mouse!
